AOL Outage in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York

@michaelmiraflor @Aerocles @MattJMcD Why is it a problem that they’re asking what web3 is? To me, that’s a great sign that they care. This is so new in any practical sense. The web itself didn’t matter to most without the browser & AOL. Web 2 didn’t matter for most until Facebook. Most people need real applications.

@FlyinBrianJr Yes, I'm conyacting AOL customer service, and they told me to try another dial-up server, and update the software for AOL instant messaging. Still waiting for a good connection. That 1 gig speed internet isn't an improvement either.

@AOL Nothing except federal properties shut down, and Federal workers go on forelong

@electroboyusa Nope. Same AOL email since dial-up. I also have the same phone number since 1986 and never had a Facebook account. Never felt the need to follow the crowd "just because".

Think about how horny you gotta be to see some porn in the Fleets. That UX is horrible. AOL dial-up porn.

@CNN if he doesn't come back what do you think will happen to Amazon? Maybe it will **** the bed like Yahoo or Aol? What do you think?

My thoughts on the Yahoo/AOL news summed up as follows: - as a former Yahoo, I still bleed Purple for the brand. It mattered so much to so many for so long, and still does to a degree (just in different ways) - The middle is a bad place to be. If you can’t compete in scale…

@aripap If AOL could figure out why they dropped the ball in AIM, I might consider reading the rest of their issues

@QuinnyPig Of all the ways AOL did us *****, the worst.

@TinaDesireeBerg This was a mindfuck to say the least. The piece of **** who made the poll did the old capital “i”/lower case “L” trick in the username. I used to do **** like that in AOL chat rooms back in the 2000s to **** with people.

@AOL I have problem opening my emails

@doctorwhoviana @crosa1988 But they loved the infomercial I had written (which never aired). They thought I “understood them.” So they hired me to do all sorts of other stuff. They essentially paid for my 1st condo. Those were the days. But then AOL made a tragically wrong turn. Interesting how that goes.

My favorite AOL/AIM profile was simply Times New Roman size 12 white background simply saying "Loading..." and away msg was "just got into a really bad accident. be back later"

I owe it to AOL and SNL for educating me when I was still single digits of age. But TWA’s crash shook the **** out of me because I was visiting Florida like once a year, so I was anxious every time I got back on a plane.

Damn if @AOL email isn’t down again.

Just thinking about that time my mom popped into my teenage bedroom where I was AOL messaging people and reading jokes on my teal blue hand-me-down Mac to say very earnestly that it is more important to have relationships with people in real life than online

Like AOL punters and PRoGz but for horrible Twitter reply guys. Niche tweet.

On #CovidCampus: a family friend in his late 60’s just emailed me from his AOL account, subject line “Hello this is [his name],” to ask if I could come over to help him figure out Zoom for the class he’s adjuncting at a major university, so, yeah, this isn’t going to go smoothly.

When you were too poor for AOL Dial-Up & were passing time

**** aol mail

Can someone please tell me how I’m receiving continuous spam emails to an AOL account I NEVER created? Like it from spam, but it says in the To: “deadname@aol” ???

@mizshellytee It hasn't meant that since the main online chat service was AOL Instant Messenger & you had to remember all your friend's screen names. I'm guessing you're over 30 :-D

May I scream here that I hate AOL news judgment? Yeah, I have Gmail. But I have to go through this gauntlet of poor journalism when looking into AOL stuff, where my older clients find me. It feels like bad headlines should be illegal or at least carry heavy fines. Words matter.

2/x. they had to log into their email account via a website. Obviously the login failed but now the person has the name & PW. They were pulled in a chat room and told that for $4.99 per month they could get AOL email with various security features

@T_Gracchus @cosmoksmom It’s so much more than that but sounds like you’ve never really been. I also prefer their wings over Buffalo Wild Wings bc they’re fresh not frozen but I also still have an AOL email address. 🥴

@rivercitywriter @VincentPascual Besides just being a word salad the best I can assume you are saying is just stupid. It was created in the days of aol and prodigy, not for any sinister plan

I never had AOL growing up (we had earthlink) so i to this day have no idea what AOL keywords were despite living through them

@wendelltalks Connect spread the gospel as being poor practicing matthew7:7, meaning to the fullest. Before finding Jesus Christ via aol, myspace, hotmail, yahoo, caramel I used to flirt to women all over the world, got acquinted send them money when needed.

@Blizzard_Ent yall need to stop sucking ***. Played @Diablo back in the day with less server problems and I was using AOL dial up.

one day you logged off your AOL account not realizing you’d never log back on it ever again.
