    @alcidezx3 had my name as well (IvanVega1) but there were others. We never just had one. Was @DoctaSlick your AOL handle, Nikki? 🤔

  • donjensenep Don P. Jensen Jr (@donjensenep) reported from Elmwood Park, Illinois

    @J0hnnyXm4s I think the problem here people are too use o 40 or less characters. It is also difficult for many to type what they want for fear of that digital trail. We have also come to the point were us old school bbs and aol chat room people are becoming less and less. I often have to

  • JamesZekis James Zekis (@JamesZekis) reported from Oak Park, Illinois

    @TheNotoriousLEX My memories of that race is mostly being in AOL chat rooms with people screaming at each other about steroids and Chip Caray with the worst HR call in history when McGwire broke the record. I don't want a documentary to color my experience.

  • KingThelonious Thelonious Martin™ (@KingThelonious) reported from Chicago, Illinois

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

  • greenSLLIME 🤮ghoul🤮 (@greenSLLIME) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I keep a drawer full of broken aol discs to cut a ***** wit

  • IamEricT IamEric+ Streaming Service only 4.99/month (@IamEricT) reported from River Forest, Illinois

    @swyx @jaredpalmer First software I ever wrote in Corp America was to make sure a large Telco could create a bill supporting that many digits… the intended customer persona: AOL

  • TmoneyTalks Tyler Harford (@TmoneyTalks) reported from Palatine, Illinois

    thinking about that time when i was 9 years old and i stole my mom’s credit card, signed us up for AOL internet, and started chatting with a girl about ten years my senior in Massachusetts. as you could imagine, it was the most trouble i had ever gotten into at that point

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

    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

  • grahamatcollege Stowe God Cooks (@grahamatcollege) reported from Evanston, Illinois

    are there any other PBS KIDS ONLY NO NICKELODEON NO CARTOON NETWORK who are also YAHOO MESSENGER NO AOL INSTANT MESSENGER who are also TWENTY TWELVE TUMBLR

  • thelastpinkcar Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    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.

  • AdamKoralik Adam Koralik (@AdamKoralik) reported from Chicago, Illinois

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

  • _MissValdes The Pillowhouse Princess of Lys (@_MissValdes) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I’m just waiting for Nelly’s shit to start making the aol startup sound.

  • Process_xbt Full (💀,💀) (@Process_xbt) reported

    $eth is not going the future of L1s. Think more aol, yahoo, etc. The gas problem is not a bug, it’s a feature, and eventually it’ll be the death of $eth

  • PorkchopProduc1 Porkchop Productions (@PorkchopProduc1) reported

    @ofthebrownajah @TigraineMantear Agreed. Sometimes they seemed kinda incompetent in the books and I hope they can fix that by making them real monsters. After all the stories from the AoL have them murdering whole cities and starting schools to indoctrinate kids to the dark one.

  • drmaggiemiller Dr. MKM (@drmaggiemiller) reported

    @JFrankensteiner I’ll never accept this reality. When I was a little girl, with a brand new thing called the internet, I scoured AOL for a copy of Angels With Filthy Souls for my dad who thought it was the best movie ever made. I was destroyed to find the truth. Destroyed.

  • take5transfat hair of breath (@take5transfat) reported

    @lilydont they said this cuz jewish parents couldnt get off the damn phone!! their children just wanted to talk to their friends on AOL damn it

  • IAmMattRice MattRice (@IAmMattRice) reported

    @O2 are 100% the worst network for data speed and connection. No matter where I am, city centre, at home, at work I get rubbish connection. I’ll be with mates on EE and 3 watching them use their phones normally while I’m stood waiting for images to load like it’s 1998 AOL dial up

  • infmom Marte (@infmom) reported

    @MollyJongFast I'm glad my mom was gone before Twitter came along. What she used to do with the AOL chat client was bad enough.

  • JonVirtual Jon Oakes (@JonVirtual) reported

    @CixLiv I have come down on this that I am pumped they are going to spend 10 billion on metaverse stuff. I don't think it'll work. But they will fund research and give people jobs and those people will leave and start/join companies. They are building the AOL/Prodigy of VR Let them.

  • mrgreene1977 Tristan Greene 🏳‍🌈 (@mrgreene1977) reported

    And people laughed when I said Xbox Live is the future of gaming and it'll be way bigger than whatever the hell Sega was trying to do with Dreamcast. And, yes, Metaverse is stupid. AOL was stupid. And so were video games, to most people, in 2001. Just like crypto in 2015...

  • honeypotwoof Honeypot (@honeypotwoof) reported

    @bipolarbear77 What is this? Never heard of this. Reading the comments, i’m not sure I understand. Sounds like you guys are talking AOL aim. #2005flashbacks

  • JOHNTLYTLE1 JOHN T LYTLE (@JOHNTLYTLE1) reported

    @MSNBC @maddow What's the name of the internet program Tom hanks used in "You've got mail" ? I looked it up and they are still there, different but there, everyone had it back then. I'll bet teens never heard of it. I wonder if Facebook will go out that way ??? AOL
