AOL Outage in Elyria, Lorain County, Ohio

You youngins won't get this but a lot of times I wish twitter was like the old AOL chatrooms of the mid 90's where you could pick your topic of what you wanted to enter and not have all the other crap show up !!

@GordonJohnson19 suggesting $TSLA is like $AOL is a cute punchline, but ridiculous. AOL chose to remain with dialup tech, letting competitors overtake. #tesla never settles for their technology advantages.

@korrasrevengers I mean, anyone can write ideas anywhere. If it is a convenient place to jot them down, why not? Everybody has phones. Some people like certain tools. Some people still cling to their @ AOL email addresses. It is a weird world out here. Some people record albums in Garage Band!

I have trust issues with people who still use aol,yahoo, etc instead of just gmail/@-domain-name

@gonefullcrypto Sure, right after ethereum flips btc. Predictions like this are pointless, imo. If you asked someone in 1998 if AOL would still be king in 2008, most people would have said yes. What if a third network shows up and beats out both? Hedging is better than predicting.

You know there was a time when being on a computer talking to a person you’ve never met physically was considered some weirdo ****? I know because I was called a weirdo during the AOL days. Now look at us. Socialization is a muthafucka ain’t it?

@meeware I sadly agree on your last point about recovering. I've been 'social' online since the beginning. '93 on usenet. Music forums. Even Compuserve rooms. Early Yahoo chat. ICQ! etc. CuSeeMe. NEVER AOL. :) It was a few years ago when I first thought "Oh no! What have we done!"

when I was a child i told my mom **** school and ever since then I been retarded with it thinkin bout nothin got the aol dial up sound in my head 24/7 i put that on everything walking with a limp cuz my wallet so fat they pay me not to come to they house and scream at they moms

@OrkiesSteve Brian Last claims Vince is going to sell but this is based on the layoffs and getting great deals with NBC-Universal, FOX, and USA. So the rumors might be cope over the deals he's been making to put WWE in a bad light (i.e., they're doing a WCW AOL and Time Warner merger thing)

Dug up my ancient mabinogi account from back when I was still into Touhou and lurked forums and there were people discussing it in those forums and the game was region locked to US only and I had to do some weird as **** AOL doohickey to login but I gave up Its been... 12 years.

hey businesses. AOL wasn't a good role model, please don't make it difficult for me to cancel your services online. I don't want to call, just put up a "cancel service" function and let me cancel in peace.
