  @TTrimoreau Anyone remember Apple's EWorld? It was Apple's attempt to gain some of the profits from the internet craze. I told them it would fail. It ended up being a year and half late, and was still just a rebranded version of AOL online. It folded shortly after being released.

  @kermankohli @Banana3Stocks For me it was. And I owned some great sticks in my past. I bought AOL in late 90s. AAPL in 2010. NVDA in 2017. And TSLA in 2019. Micron was by far the easiest in terms of conviction! I have never been so convicted in a stock as I was with Micron. It didn’t make sense to me that it wasn’t trading so much higher.

  @xuzin3sefh I mean, I was in tech for so long running companies with a 56K modem you know back in the old days I mean, I ran companies during the time of AOL dial up America online. I don’t even know if you’ve heard of that but eventually, I got so burned out on it. I couldn’t even I played games Xbox PlayStation PC everything for 40 years you know it’s like after a while. I got so tired. I couldn’t even pick up the damn mouse for the keyboard. I just like I can’t do it. I’d buy like a PlayStation, which sits there for like two years before I even opened it and then I didn’t even play people think just working on PCs is nice and simple and oh no it’s not. It’s much more stressful people better realize they can burn themselves out permanently if they’re not careful.

  @RetroTechDreams Would play the **** out turret defense custom games in this with AOL dial up internet. Then I'd end up disconnecting from games due to my sisters unplugging the internet to use the phoneline to call up boys. Good times.

  i don't buy the "ai search replaces Google" thesis. the data says the opposite is happening. Cloudflare Radar, may 2026: every ai chatbot — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity — sends 0.29% of global search referrals. Google sends 87.63%. 301-to-1. Anthropic's ClaudeBot crawls 11,122 pages for every human visit it returns vs Google's 5:1. Alphabet Q1 2026 filing: Google search revenue $60.4B, +19% yoy, up from +17% in Q4. ai overviews hit 2.5B monthly users; ai mode crossed 1B. alphabet says ai overviews monetize at rates "similar to traditional search" (june 2026 investor presentation). the kill-google thesis is showing up as negative signal in the actual p&l. Perplexity — the consensus poster child — killed its entire ad business in feb (Financial Times, The Verge). ads generated $20K against $34M revenue. exec quote: "a user would just start doubting everything." a company that can't make advertising work cannot disrupt a $60B/quarter advertising business. the consensus pusher worth countering specifically — @sarahdingwang at a16z, who led Exa's $250M Series C at $2.2B in may. her line: "agents will search the web more than humans this year. soon orders of magnitudes more." historical analog — Netscape 1994-98. the next platform that would reduce windows to "a poorly debugged set of device drivers." 80% share, record ipo. microsoft bundled IE for free. netscape sold to AOL for scrap. the company that captured the value was the one everyone thought netscape would displace — Google, founded 1998 — the services layer above the commodity. counter-position: ai search isn't replacing Google. Google is becoming ai search. standalone players are fighting netscape's war while the incumbent absorbs the tech into a surface 2.5B people already use. investor read: Exa at $2.2B and Perplexity at $22B are priced for a market-share takeover the referral data says isn't happening. the smarter bet is the layer that monetizes the ai-overview expansion Google is driving.

  @ToxicWorrier @llandoniffirg Oh man. 19 for me. I never had an AOL address

  @muheediva01 I'm telling everyone not to invest in Google stocks. Worthless search engine only old teachers use like an Encyclopedia. Worthless ****. Sink all your money into AOL. They have everything you ever wanted in a browser.
