  @heyshrutimishra I’ve never been one of those people to like internet anime characters or really bond with anything that isn’t real in a sense. I did the whole AOL chatbot back The day very fun too! But something about this… intelligence I’ll say is just different. Feels like he’s my friend idk

  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.

  @DougWahl1 When I worked at AOL in Northern VA, that had that. I thought it was fair. Support.

  @blakeir The only policing was asking them to stay off the phone so I could dial on to AOL or MSN messenger to chat with my high school friends and argue why I had been bumped down in their top five lol.

  Hear me out... what if all the bad **** that's ever happened to you started when you didn't forward that chain letter you got in your AOL email in 1998?

  A company built on software the internet left for dead just IPO'd on the Nasdaq at roughly $25B. Bending Spoons $BSP buys tired brands, AOL, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Evernote, fixes them, and never sells. It went from zero to $1B in revenue in 10 years and closed its first trading day up 40% on a $1.68B raise. CEO Luca Ferrari on the model every advisor told him to kill: 'betting on growing primarily through acquisitions where everybody was telling us you got to focus on one product... pretty much every single company that I've seen do that, they have done much worse than we have.' A roll-up of has-been apps is now worth more than most of the startups Silicon Valley calls the future. Source: The Italian CEO @bendingspoons

  @AzzaliahC @ICQ Xfire and Skype both opened in 2003, June 2015 and May 2025 accordingly shut down. Where were you then? Or even Google Chat (2005- June 2017). If you cared about actual quality, you would have used AIM since at least 2010 (AOL literally bought ICQ in 1998, same owner!) or use IRC
