  • 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.

  • _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.

  • WahidTazudeen Wahid Tazudeen (@WahidTazudeen) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    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.

  • IvanVega IvanVega.eth ✨ (@IvanVega) reported from Chicago, Illinois

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

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

  • 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.

  • RonTheWheel The Wheels (@RonTheWheel) reported from Downers Grove, Illinois

    @MatseyPat AOL must be down.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • mdhaldane Matt Haldane (@mdhaldane) reported

    Hotmail is trending on Twitter because apparently AOL is too much of a joke to be the thing you joke about when Gmail goes down.

  • Luvz2Fly Gary (@Luvz2Fly) reported

    @MKBHD You're all a bunch of suckers!!! You are nothing but tiny cogs in a big corporate machine...I had no problem with my AOL dial up this morning! Logged right in and I even "got mail"

  • adanna814 annette d'anna (@adanna814) reported

    @KeithMalinak @AOL Still have my AOL because I’m fairly sure it’ll never be hacked because no one cares about AOL anymore. Plus their spam filters are kickass. I do avoid eye contact when asked my email address, though.

  • mquirion 🇺🇲 Matt Quirion (@mquirion) reported

    Remember, your parents have no idea GMail was down. They're all still on AOL.

  • ActuallyMaggie Maggie (@ActuallyMaggie) reported

    Anytime a customer gives me a Hotmail or AOL email address I usually make a comment about how old it must be. Last week someone gave me a Juno email which I forgot was even a thing.

  • ShelbiSarver Shelbi Danialle Sarver (@ShelbiSarver) reported

    Oh, gmail went down, huh? *laughs in aol*

  • JeffTweet68 My Name's Jeff (@JeffTweet68) reported

    @craigcalcaterra What was the movie line about email for "poor people"? My family still uses AOL.
