  History tells us that the companies that are early leaders in a software category rarely remain so. Altavista? Excite? InfoSeek? You're old if you remember those, but at the time they were dominant. Then came Yahoo, then Google... Years later. AOL? EarthLink? Compuserve? They were the Internet for most users. Now? Telcos & Cable cos reinvented themselves as consumer ISPs and dial up mostly died. The historical examples go way beyond software. The point is that although OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok/X, Google are dominating AI right now, things change in ways we can't forecast. The next better faster cheaper different AI solution that erases some current leaders probably hasn't been created yet. I do wonder though, who dies first? I'm talking 5-10 year window.

  @MeganTStevenson not to mention AOL Mail! My 91 year-old uncle was on AOL mail until he died. My guess is that he was a representative customer.

  @lilhousgreendor 18. Never had an AOL address. What is a paper mat?

  @SarahSevans2000 Hit 19, I never had an AOL address, I could have but I didn't. A lot of those are the result of working in a law office though.

  @xwanyex Yes. Very much this. I remember my first post-college job in mid/late 90s, bored between faxes I was sending for my boss at a large non profit (kids this is all true and not satire.) On ICQ, pre AOL acquisition, I was chatting w someone in Tasmania (a pilot, he claimed) and another person, a professor from South UK, who told me to listen to Rodrigo. This was still before you could send graphic files so everyone was an avatar and words unless you put a photograph in an envelope and mailed it. I ended up writing a novel when a startup I’d just joined closed in mid 2000, about how relationships and communication would and have changed in this new texting world. Never published it because “some people did some things” in 2001 and agents only wanted non fiction, and then I lost the drive. Thank you for coming to my TED walk down memory lane.

  I’m sure this will sound like the roar of a dinosaur, but as a (remaining) AOL user, I had a serious tech issue of access, called them, they answered, and a very helpful, patient human walked me through a reprogramming procedure with one of my computers to restore access. Easy

  @CZOctober25 @SarahSevans2000 I never had a waterbed or AOL either but the rest of them I had or used at one point. My first Internet was dial up and it drove people crazy. Because I had only one phone line and people would try to call me on the phone and the line was always busy because I was on the Internet
