  @bohoconserve @EliLake time to cancel your aol subscription and shut the computer down for a while grandma, your peanuts and pumpkins miss you and hate how much time you spend online yelling your nonsense, they say it feels like talking to a rusty decrepit toilet.

  @AOL How come my email newsfeed has become full of total garbage from @Daily_Express..!? There is real news happening, but those hacks just rewrite what they’ve just watched on TV - it’s embarrassing! Help!

  @eyecewe @hthieblot It was a masterpiece. AOL, spawn of hell, bought out Netscape in 1998 & deliberately destroyed it trying to force people back to hell. Worst decision in internet history.

  @vileTexan **** not only the long distance bill. I always dreaded the AOL bill. That internet by the minute for a killer.

  The WWF AOL page. So cool. Live chats with wrestlers, a trivia game I was so good at people would spam IMs to slow me down. Good stuff.

  @NE_CoastalQueen Seriously. Between AOL chat and the Xbox lobbies, there is no finer generation at talking ****.

  Marc Andreessen wrote a browser at 22 and took a company with no profits public at $2,900,000,000 in a single day. He built Mosaic as a student employee at the University of Illinois supercomputing center, paid $6.85 an hour. It was the first browser that showed images alongside text. The university claimed the software. He left for California, and Jim Clark, who had already founded Silicon Graphics, funded him to build it again from scratch. Netscape Navigator shipped in late 1994 and took most of the web inside months. The IPO came in August 1995, 16 months after founding. The company had almost no revenue and no profit at all. Shares were set at $28 and opened at $71. The close valued Netscape near $2,900,000,000. Wall Street had never priced a company on future users instead of earnings. Every dot-com listing that followed used the template. Microsoft bundled Internet Explorer with Windows for free. Netscape sold to AOL in 1999 and the browser disappeared. He co-founded Andreessen Horowitz in 2009 and now writes the checks. He proved a company could be worth billions before it made a dollar.

  @honeymoon250 17. Never had an AOL address, sent a fax, or tried a waterbed.

  Then on 1 December 1996, AOL went flat rate. $19.95. Unlimited. Average usage went from 7 hours a month to 23. The network collapsed. Customers sued. States opened investigations. The CEO had to publicly ask 8 million people to please use the internet less.
