-
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.

Golden Girls LIVE! (@goldengirlsBOS) reported from Manhattan, New York@AOLSupportHelp We are having trouble here in NYC of sending emails with attachments on AOL. Never had this problem before.

I’m the Big Man, I think (@vodkasnowflake) reported from Manhattan, New YorkI 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.

Ed McCabe (@eddiemac3356) reported from Manhattan, New York@Pivotal_Capital This is like buying $AOL every time the stock went down due to a service outage. Guaranteed money maker. Buy the virus (or whatever it is). Lol

Barry Graubart (@graubart) reported from Manhattan, New York@dancow In the 90s I had an AOL account so I could test our software on their proprietary browser. Couldn’t cancel online. Had to call in (but long wait on hold). Instead, I switched to cheapest (4.95) plan until credit card finally expired.

spooky gootz (@raygootz) reported from Manhattan, New York@skinnymysterio WCW cut everyones salaries in half in 92 cause they could. Also AOL wanted wrestling ******** off tnt didnt matter if nitro started destroying raw in ratings. All these corporate pricks are the same.

$h0wT!m3 (@hecmel_) reported from Manhattan, New York@doll_aim Whatever works but AIM/AOL was the ****

Mr. Hella Nasty (@TooStonedINWOOD) reported from Manhattan, New YorkI was just listening to Ciara - Promise and in the middle I caught myself saying AOL MUSIC exclusive….Lmfaoo damn the days #smacked

dominic (@Globalmess65) reported from Manhattan, New York@ReformedBroker sorry sweetie but $ORCL is not the last of the bunch... $CSCSO and $INTC have never made new highs. Neither has $AOL lol

Kristen Booth (@Kristen_Booth) reported from Manhattan, New YorkWhy is my #ATT network buffering like a late 90s #AOL dial-up? 😡🤬😡🤬
-
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.
-
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".
-
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.
-
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.
-
TheFeralOne (she/her) (@tracey_f) reported from Manhattan, New York@nashmallow People laugh that I still have my OG AOL address but I use it for most things if it's not a Google related, but I NEVER see spam in my inbox, and there are only occasional false catches. And lemme tell ya, that spam folder is full to bursting every day.

🇩🇴 Jesse Jackson (@718Shaun) reported from Manhattan, New YorkWhen that happened I said “AOL set me up! This computer has a virus, all these damn pop ups” lol

John Smith (@JohnSmithdqlo) reported@cmsinvests MSFT can never fail right? Just like AOL and Yahoo. Guaranteed to outperform the index in 40 years.

$XRPARMY (@JoshMcKinney18) reportedThis is exactly the kind of infrastructure-level integration that proves we’re past the build phase 👀 Ripple successfully tested as a blockchain enhancer for the SWIFT network (Hyperledger + ISO 20022) back in June 2025, and now it’s moving toward actual integration. Remember when the internet went from heavy build-out to mass adoption in 1998? I was an AOL shareholder and worked at UUNET selling the pipes. The parallels with XRP and the Internet of Value today are identical — regulatory clarity + real infrastructure hooks = adoption phase. We’re entering the Green Zone. 🍻

James Winebrenner (@JamesWinebren14) reportedI worked from home no doubt. Started with fax machines. We actually use high resolution fac machines to transfer camera ready artwork. Long before AOL dial up. F.I.N.S. works with all software or no computers at all like morse code after a first strike during the Cold War my SOS.

ArudhiJ (@ArudhiJ) reported@ehdande Says a real estate developer🧐 Since when did you hear matatu owners support a light rail transport system! AOL

Nile McMillion (@NileMcmillion) reported@blind_via I love that you can tell immediately exactly who this data is from and how they got it. Incredibly obvious by AOL Mail being the same amount of time as Twitter, this is boomers who click yes on every single pop-up they are given and were served a pop up on some scammy site or an email to "help with a brief survey" that led them to install the browser extension they used to get this data. Literally no one else would intentionally install a browser extension to track how they use their computer.

Eric H (@TesseractUnfold) reported@rhayadercompute -- When I worked customer service at a regional ISP around 2000, I tiled the walls of my cubicle with AOL discs. Ended up with one full wall and half of another covered. XD

Milo (@MstrMilo) reportedBeen going down a Luca Ferrari rabbit hole and honestly the guy might be running one of the smartest plays in tech right now. while everyone's out here trying to build the next big thing, he's just buying the old ones. Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Meetup, AOL. products people still love but that got bloated and neglected. bending spoons scoops them up cheap because everyone assumes they're dead. they're not, they're just badly run. and then the fun part. they move everything to italy, strip the company way down, hand the code to a bunch of young engineers who ship like crazy, and reprice the product to what it's actually worth. evernote got 75 updates in a year after basically going quiet. nobody's on call, everyone's just a "software engineer," salaries are flat. someone described it as private equity having a baby with google which is perfect. the numbers are kind of insane too. revenue per employee went from about $1.1m to $2.6m in two years, and they just IPO'd north of $18b and popped 40% on the first day. the takeaway that stuck with me: you don't have to invent the thing. you can just take something great that someone else fumbled and actually run it well. everyone's obsessed with zero to one and he's quietly getting rich on one to n.

Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) reportedResearchers tracked 344,753 websites over 18 months to map where American attention actually goes online. The answer is email. Gmail alone is 16% of all desktop time. Add Yahoo, Outlook, and AOL, and inboxes eat nearly a quarter of every hour Americans spend at a computer. That's double the combined total of Facebook, X, Reddit, Instagram, Discord, and WhatsApp. The legacy numbers are the wild part. Yahoo Mail, at 3.71%, gets more attention than ChatGPT, Reddit, and Netflix combined. AOL Mail, a service most people assume died with dial-up, beats Instagram and Discord combined. Yahoo still has roughly 225 million active mail users, skewing Gen X and Boomer: people who opened an account in 1999 and never saw a reason to leave. Google Search sits at just 2.33%. The front door of the entire internet gets less time than Yahoo's inbox, because search is engineered to end fast. Every second you spend on a results page is a second Google failed. The chart measures desktop, which explains the shape. Your phone is where you play. Your computer is where you work. And the work of being an American in 2026, the bills, the receipts, the school notices, the job applications, still runs through a protocol invented in 1971. Strip away 30 years of apps and the desktop internet is a post office with better graphics.

Wu (@Das_Wu1) reported@Gpersonobserver @woofknight You're old. 😬 I missed the AOL address (could had have one, but didn't), never used a water bed or paper mat (what was that for???) and had no checkbook (paid mostly cash).
