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

McCovid | fakevirus.eth (@mccovid20) reportedHistorically IPO allocations went to institutions. retail buyers got whatever was left after the +30%. @wallet_tg just flipped that. Two listings, two times people got in at the actual price Bending spoons owns vimeo, wetransfer, evernote, eventbrite, aol. $1.3B revenue, 95% growth last year If you missed second IPO don't miss the next one, based on the facts price is never going under the IPO price which means you can't be in red

MychaelP (@MP_InTheMoney) reported@KrisPatel99 Nothing. It's desperation as they lose valuable advertising $ from teens no longer using the service. The age of fake ai may be the new turn just like how AOL and Myspace once ruled

🔻Lanthropy (@LAN_thropy) reportedThis is your response? PlayStation will fall like kodak, nokia, AOL, and other big companies who thought they are too big to fail.

CEOInterviews.AI (@CEOinterview) reportedA 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

Moe of No Words Barred Podcast (@MoeBeKnowin) reportedI’ll never forget AOL 4.0 that supported “broadband” internet. That version was a changer.

Sandy Kory (@sandykory) reportedI haven’t been buying the "SaaSpocalypse," but Q1’s nosediving SaaS valuations gave me pause. After a week in SF last month sampling the AI zeitgeist, I have a better feel for where the software sector is heading. It’s the SaaS-to-inference transition, and it’s good. My long-standing view has been that AI is a net positive for the software industry. It radically raises the ceiling for what software products can do. It should dramatically expand the market opportunity for software, just like the on-prem-to-cloud transition did back in the day. Yet many have been freaking out. After all, haven’t SaaS switching costs come down dramatically in SaaS, threatening one of the pillars of the business model? Yes, there’s no doubt that the “cement around the ankles” of legacy SaaS has weakened. At the same time, most legacy SaaS companies have barely scratched the surface of AI innovation while maintaining their historically high retention. This is how it played out in the last major transition: on-prem-to-cloud. Many legacy players (pathetically) ignored cloud innovation for 5-10 years (or longer) and still kept their customers. It turns out that technology is stickier than most in the tech industry believe. Take a look at Bending Spoons, which IPO’d off the back of buying crappy legacy products and jacking up prices because users didn’t want to give up their AOL email or Evernote notes. Tech industry people are not like this. They tend to be part of the very small minority of early adopters. Most people aren’t like this. Neither are most organizations. Legacy software isn’t going to disappear. But if pre-AI software companies don’t embrace AI innovation, their customers will be much less forgiving than on-prem customers 10-20 years ago. AI capabilities are too potent and obviously beneficial. What does embracing AI innovation look like? It means layering intelligent actions into all software. Historically, great software has helped users follow the right workflow. Now, great software must do the workflow by triggering agents to take actions. In other words, inference. The great news for everyone is that this opens the door to consumption-based pricing models that can scale exponentially. For legacy players and startups alike, delivering amazing AI-powered, agentic features is the way to get on the vertical-growth train. Remarkably, the door is still open for legacy players. Intercom’s 3.6b exit to Salesforce is a great example. Of course, new pricing models mean new margin structures. Just as SaaS had lower gross margins than legacy on-prem, expect consumption-priced inference to have lower gross margins. This is OK! We’ve already seen massive wins for inference-selling startups with negative gross margins, like Cursor. Legacy SaaS companies need to find religion on this. Dropping margins is never easy. Lock up the finance team if you have to. The priority is delivering AI-powered value for customers. Everything else is just details.

Bexxs (@BexxsCity) reported@blakeir The only policing was asking them to stay off the phone so I could dial on to AOL or MSN messenger to chat with my high school friends and argue why I had been bumped down in their top five lol.
-
Swats24 (@swats24) reported@TheGrillGeek I never had AOL but a different version of online messenger. Never owned a waterbed but have experienced it. I never owned a record player but seen it in action. Does that give me 19 or brings down my score to 16? Also, I still use a checkbook 👵

matt stevens (@mattst73) reported@desthia2 This is the bottleneck problem AI is experiencing right now. It is like when AOL charge by the minute, then someone said unlimited internet. We need quantum computing to have a break though or enough data centers to handle. Selling compute capacity to other AI companies has screwed their own customers.
