    Geez @verizon I pay $330/month for 6 devices on a family plan, and I can only use my jetpack for approximately two weeks of normal internet usage, and then you slow me down to pre-AOL dial-up speeds. Just hate this. That's not fair at all.

    I don’t know why my internet is running so slow. I have the latest version of Netscape Navigator installed with AOL webcrawler as backup.

    @cooIcatz In an era of AOL dial up internet at best too so if you weren't scouring for info you had little reason to doubt it. Would never work today they bottled lightning there.

    @RNeedre @AOL I've never found one for sale to be honest.

    Please update your app. It’s AOL dial up type slow @ShopifySupport. It literally crashes every 3 commands. Also, it would behoove you to make it an option to be able to print labels/ packing slips in bulk as opposed to which day they’re purchased Printing shouldn’t be a hassle

    @streamlabs Not maintaining 30FPS resulting my streams looking like I’m on AOL connection. I wasn’t having that issue before.

    None of them have ever rung me. I got to the MSN point, adding people. I never got to the AOL AIM level they were all on. No one would share the lists with me.

  • dhruvakharia
    Dhruv (@dhruvakharia) reported

    The weirdest AI-era market signal today was not a model launch. It was Wall Street cheering AOL’s new parent. Bending Spoons, the Italian roll-up behind AOL, Vimeo, Eventbrite and other “old internet” brands, ripped on its first trading day. Shares were up as much as 52% and closed about 40% above the IPO price, according to WSJ coverage. That matters because this was supposed to be the era where only frontier AI labs and zero-to-one startups get rewarded. But public markets are sending a different message: if AI makes software cheaper to build, then existing distribution gets more valuable, not less. Users, billing relationships, search traffic, archives, brand memory, and neglected products with real audiences suddenly look like underpriced assets. The winners may not just be the companies inventing new AI tools. They may also be the operators buying tired digital properties and rebuilding them with AI, automation, and brutal cost discipline. Watch for more money to chase AI-enabled roll-ups, not just AI-native apps. The next big tech winners might look less like inventors and more like private-equity-style owners of forgotten internet real estate. Is this just an IPO pop, or the first real sign that AI rewards ownership and distribution more than novelty?

    @cmsinvests MSFT can never fail right? Just like AOL and Yahoo. Guaranteed to outperform the index in 40 years.

    @TimoTweetss this tweet shows that you ARE that guy. I have an AOL email and i one point i hadn't checked it for ten years. I had no problem checking it. TEN YEARS.

    @brianstelter They say this is to compete against Netflix and more, yet in reality each study is a supplier to streaming services despite each having their own production capabilities. Sadly, Warner is the partner of bad mergers: AOL, AT&T, Discovery and now Skydance.

  • CEOinterview
    CEOInterviews.AI (@CEOinterview) reported

    A company built on software the internet left for dead just IPO'd on the Nasdaq at roughly $25B. Bending Spoons $BSP buys tired brands, AOL, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Evernote, fixes them, and never sells. It went from zero to $1B in revenue in 10 years and closed its first trading day up 40% on a $1.68B raise. CEO Luca Ferrari on the model every advisor told him to kill: 'betting on growing primarily through acquisitions where everybody was telling us you got to focus on one product... pretty much every single company that I've seen do that, they have done much worse than we have.' A roll-up of has-been apps is now worth more than most of the startups Silicon Valley calls the future. Source: The Italian CEO @bendingspoons
