Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, IllinoisGeez @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.

Wahid Tazudeen (@WahidTazudeen) reported from Chicago, IllinoisI don’t know why my internet is running so slow. I have the latest version of Netscape Navigator installed with AOL webcrawler as backup.

#TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, IllinoisPlease 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

Adam Koralik (@AdamKoralik) reported from Chicago, Illinois@RNeedre @AOL I've never found one for sale to be honest.

StructuralPITA (@StructuralPITA) reported@syruproxy We met on an AOL aviation message board. 🤭 We crossed paths many times as kids but never met. We met in person a few weeks after nonstop phone calls and we've never been apart. I was on furlough from the airline I flew with, and I said no when they called me back. 📟 didn't work in the countries I flew to and we were inseparable by then. 30 years ago. 🩶

On Orbit Satellite 📻 (@KM4OOS_EM71) reportedAOL Instant Messenger never needed a data center. I fail to see your point. Can I host a social media server? I fail to see your point.

Arlo Gilbert (@arlogilbert) reportedHistory tells us that the companies that are early leaders in a software category rarely remain so. Altavista? Excite? InfoSeek? You're old if you remember those, but at the time they were dominant. Then came Yahoo, then Google... Years later. AOL? EarthLink? Compuserve? They were the Internet for most users. Now? Telcos & Cable cos reinvented themselves as consumer ISPs and dial up mostly died. The historical examples go way beyond software. The point is that although OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok/X, Google are dominating AI right now, things change in ways we can't forecast. The next better faster cheaper different AI solution that erases some current leaders probably hasn't been created yet. I do wonder though, who dies first? I'm talking 5-10 year window.

Spank (@mentaldischarge) reported@Lefty_Foshizzle There's some poor geezer who still uses an AOL e-mail address running around dropping cashier's checks off at Walmart to get his piece of the pie.

Martin Ezeugwu (@EzeugwuMartin) reported@FCBTheo_ @TouchlineX Yes it did. There was a battle for the 4th star. I correctly picked up on energy in the universal hologram 3 years ago in regards to Argentina battling for their 4th star. My error was I used my logical part of brain to fill in the gaps. Since the ego hates ambiguity it filled in the rest by saying since its a battle it must mean Argentina wins. The gateway and stargate which were both used by the CIA to study remote viewing and psychic ability called this AOL (Analytical overlay). I suffered the same error in my march 2024 prediction when I predicted Spain would beat Italy 3-1 in Euro final. A classic example of getting big picture correct but small errors kinda ruin it. In the future I will work on strategies to prevent this so my perception of what I'm seeing is more accurate. @grok is what I'm saying about CIA, Gateway, Stargate in regards to AOL and hypnagogic dream accurate?

Jodi Andrea ₿ (@Jodiannoyed) reported@theliamnissan Damn just switched from AOL too

James Harrigan (@jamesharrigan) reported@MeganTStevenson not to mention AOL Mail! My 91 year-old uncle was on AOL mail until he died. My guess is that he was a representative customer.

Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) reportedResearchers tracked 344,753 websites over 18 months to map where American attention actually goes online. The answer is email. Gmail alone is 16% of all desktop time. Add Yahoo, Outlook, and AOL, and inboxes eat nearly a quarter of every hour Americans spend at a computer. That's double the combined total of Facebook, X, Reddit, Instagram, Discord, and WhatsApp. The legacy numbers are the wild part. Yahoo Mail, at 3.71%, gets more attention than ChatGPT, Reddit, and Netflix combined. AOL Mail, a service most people assume died with dial-up, beats Instagram and Discord combined. Yahoo still has roughly 225 million active mail users, skewing Gen X and Boomer: people who opened an account in 1999 and never saw a reason to leave. Google Search sits at just 2.33%. The front door of the entire internet gets less time than Yahoo's inbox, because search is engineered to end fast. Every second you spend on a results page is a second Google failed. The chart measures desktop, which explains the shape. Your phone is where you play. Your computer is where you work. And the work of being an American in 2026, the bills, the receipts, the school notices, the job applications, still runs through a protocol invented in 1971. Strip away 30 years of apps and the desktop internet is a post office with better graphics.

MJ (@MJ8675309JM) reported@Barbara0699 @theliamnissan I’m almost embarrassed to say that I still use an AOL account for shopping, etc. I get enough free stuff from them to make it worthwhile, and they’re great at filtering out the garbage.

⚡imp0stor⚡₿ (@x_imp0stor) reported@FullMetalTrav I was the architect of the AOL help page deployment on the vendor side for 10 or so years. I optimized and redeployed the entire stack more than one time. It took around 52 servers to handle the traffic spikes and was split between 2 data centers w/ failover.
