Levon Hughey (@LevonHughey) reported from Manhattan, New York@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.

HelenHighly “somewhat in the business of truth”🐀 (@Helen_Highly) reported from Manhattan, New York@MsHannahMurphy 👆 Whut?! Is this what you were referring to, @dcboyisangry? Or did you just instinctively know not to trust Mvsk with your debit card? Holy moley, I'd rather send my PIN to an exiled prince who asked me for help via AOL.

Erin L. Thompson (@artcrimeprof) reported from Manhattan, New YorkOn #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.

James McEvoy🇺🇲🇮🇪🌈♊👨🦰 (@JPMcEvoyNYC) reported from Manhattan, New York@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".

HelenHighly (@Helen_Highly) reported from Manhattan, New York@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.

Baseball is Back! (For Now) (@Robderbs) reported from Manhattan, New YorkDamn if @AOL email isn’t down again.

Tanooki Joe™️ (@TanookiKuribo) reported from Manhattan, New York@NerdOutWithMe @53rdCard I still sign in to check my mail. I could just go to AOL dot com but I like signing in like I’m visiting a place from my childhood. No one is there anymore, I’m the only one.

Imagine your block without cars (@Newyorkist) reported from Manhattan, New York@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?
-
David Berkowitz (@dberkowitz) reported from Manhattan, 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.

f_marzotto (@f_marzotto) reported$BSP is a masterpiece. Just not of innovation. Working in Big Tech, you get used to seeing what actual scale and innovation look like. So watching Italy crown Bending Spoons as its great tech champion - a team that buys beloved, declining brands like AOL, Evernote, WeTransfer, and Meetup to "revive" them - has been fascinating. Their $18 billion IPO is largely deserved: they are exceptional operators. They make neglected software fast and profitable. The machine works. But there are two things you can do to a fading product. You can make it modern and profitable again - or you can make it win again, attracting new people who genuinely love it. Bending Spoons does the first brilliantly. The second, almost never. Their own SEC prospectus reveals the trick. Organic growth was 13% last year, and just 6% last quarter. Net revenue retention is 94%, meaning each cohort of users is worth less a year later, even after aggressive price hikes. This isn't a base being won back; it's a base leaking quietly, taxed harder on the way out. This is exactly why comparing them to Big Tech is so revealing. Picture $META putting WhatsApp or Instagram behind a paywall tomorrow. There would be a global uproar. Meta has the most locked-in audience on Earth, yet they refuse to charge them. Why? Because they are still chasing growth. Bending Spoons charges its captive audiences precisely because it has no growth left to protect. They execute the exact playbook that would make Meta a supervillain, but on smaller apps with weaker exits - and we call it genius. The reviled villain treats its users better than the celebrated innovator. A true maker earns its price by building something genuinely better; you pay because you want to stay. Bending Spoons didn't build these products; braver people did. They buy them when they are loved and hard to quit, and turn them into extraction machines. They are professional converters of makers into takers. Charging people because they want to stay makes everyone richer. Charging them because they can't leave just moves money from users to shareholders. One is a gain for the world. The other is a transfer. And every switch they flip is one more bill on people already drowning in subscriptions, asked to pay again for what they once had free. Of course, the business works. Rent extraction is the safest business on earth: low risk, fast payback, nothing to invent. But compare that to actual innovation. Whatever you think of Elon Musk, he took real risk on things that didn't exist yet: Tesla forced open the EV industry, SpaceX made rockets reusable, and each time the rest of the world had to follow. He earned his success by growing the pie; Bending Spoons pours the same ingenuity into nag screens and cancellation mazes, carving up a pie someone else baked. Let's not call a toll booth a cathedral. Celebrate rent-collection as innovation, and we teach our best makers to optimize the past instead of building the future.

Dr. David Burkus (@davidburkus) reportedWSJ profiled Bending Spoons this week — the Milan company that owns AOL, Evernote, and Vimeo, run by executives in their 30s and staffed by people who are sometimes younger than the software they've been hired to fix. It's actually a story about why so many applicants never make it through the door. Hundreds of thousands apply every year — enough that the rejection rate makes Harvard look like an easy yes — and most of them are optimizing for the wrong thing: credentials, polish, a great answer to "tell me about yourself." Almost anyone can be gracious to the person deciding their future. It's how they treat someone who can't do anything for them that's hard to fake. Last year: roughly 800,000 applications, 286 hires, an acceptance rate near 0.04% — tighter than Citadel's famously selective quant recruiting (0.36%), something like a hundred times harder than Harvard. That selectivity isn't a gut call. A dedicated team inside the company grades every interview against fixed criteria, then tracks how each hire performs months and years later, feeding the results back into the model. CEO Luca Ferrari has said the signal his team weights hardest is exactly this — how a candidate treats the people who have zero power over the outcome: the assistant, the receptionist. Not decency theater. Data: how you act in front of power is a performance; how you act in front of none is closer to the truth. That gap gets coded straight into the model, right alongside the interview scores. I'd bet you've done the reverse of this in the last week without noticing — warm with your boss, a little short with someone who couldn't do anything for you either way. Most companies say they hire for character. Very few test it anywhere the candidate isn't being watched by someone who can help them. Worth trying on your own team — just notice who's kind to the person who can't do anything for them.

John (@HeyJSay) reported@SarahSevans2000 19! I never had an AOL address. I was Yahoo! from Day 1. Now if that was AIM, guilty as charged.

CaptainCodeman (@CaptainCodeman) reported@PrairieVeteran @MarkJCarney He's got ****-all deals anywhere. Oh wait, we got 10 months of Canola to China in exchange for them being able to sell EVs in Canada for 5 YEARS. He couldn't negotiate a free AOL CD.

MidLifeVirus (@MidLifeVirus) reportedOne of the small things that I am proud of. I don’t become a raging douchbag online. What I am online is the exact same person you’ll find in real life. For I understand a keyboard is not an all access pass to being an *******. Too bad so many today never had a fight in a nickel arcade because some weird douchbag wouldn’t stop bumping into you while you’re trying to beat PAC Man. Too bad so many today have never enjoyed the killing fields of chat rooms in AOL. Too bad.

Floyd Jewell (@Cal16255) reported@lady_valor_07 @Yahoo @MSN I bought my first computer around 1987-88. Best Buy signed me up with AOL. I had the computer maybe 3-6 months. AOL flagged me saying they could not provide me service because my Computer wasn't fast enough or big enough to use their service. I knew absolutely nothing about comp.
