  One of the most underrated skill in business: writing a good email. 350+ billion emails are sent every day. Nobody talks about email etiquette. The people who are good at it shine. The people who aren't have a disadvantage and don't even know it. Here's how to fix it: Keep it short. No email should ever be over 150 words. Paragraphs should never be more than 4 lines. When you write an important email, spend just as much time cutting it down as you spent writing it. Go line by line. Ask: is this sentence absolutely necessary? Can I combine these two into one? Ditch the Comcast, AOL, and Hotmail addresses. Set up a professional email on your own domain using Google Workspace. Don't put "CEO" in your signature if you're a startup with no employees. I know you founded the company. Put "owner" or "founder." When I see "CEO" from a company I know is brand new, I roll my eyes. Never criticize anyone in a reply-all. If people are CC'd, it means they want to be kept in the loop, so reply all to keep them there. And remember: email is permanent. Don't put anything in writing you wouldn't want surfacing years later. Small thing. Massive advantage if you're one of the few who actually does it right.

  The crazy part about having dial-up internet was we had to add an extra ~20 minutes to our time of arrival because we had to turn on the computer, open the AOL app, sign in, and then wait for that long dial-up tone before going to the MapQuest site to write down directions.

  @MeganTStevenson not to mention AOL Mail! My 91 year-old uncle was on AOL mail until he died. My guess is that he was a representative customer.

  @KydJustice If AOL/Time Warner wanted to keep wrestling on their network, nothing happening in WCW at the time would have mattered. Brooks is full of ****.

  @AmericanAir what happened to this airline. The customer service is the worst in the business. Can’t get through by phone, chat is third world and the technology rivals that of AOL instant messaging … complete crap airline. Our Tavel agency will never use AA again

  @JimmyNoSense @_The_Prophet__ If you really do believe that significant portions of the world's population are w/o internet access, then, my internet friend, I can't help you other than wishing you have fun with your newly found AOL CD

  @garyvee Next we need to bring back MySpace, AIM, and AOL dialup. I never realized all the coding I did back then for my profile was foreshadowing how much coding would be used today 💬

  @SarahSevans2000 Honestly never had an AOL address... but had plenty of their "free coasters".

  History tells us that the companies that are early leaders in a software category rarely remain so. Altavista? Excite? InfoSeek? You're old if you remember those, but at the time they were dominant. Then came Yahoo, then Google... Years later. AOL? EarthLink? Compuserve? They were the Internet for most users. Now? Telcos & Cable cos reinvented themselves as consumer ISPs and dial up mostly died. The historical examples go way beyond software. The point is that although OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok/X, Google are dominating AI right now, things change in ways we can't forecast. The next better faster cheaper different AI solution that erases some current leaders probably hasn't been created yet. I do wonder though, who dies first? I'm talking 5-10 year window.

  Since I have been casting aspersions on "Agile as Practiced in Nearly Every Project with a Certified Scrum Master", I should tell you about some projects I was on that worked. One on the most interesting ones was during my Network Management product development phase. I was hired by ARINC to work on software for the Iridium project. Shortly thereafter, one of the directors came up with an idea for a commercial product. He wanted a no code drag and drop UI to create a GUI to show and control SNMP values. We went to two Networld-Interop shows a year, one in Las Vegas and one in Atlanta. He wanted a new minor release for each trade show. The product owner would give the dev team a list of prioritized features. The five developers would meet and decide what we could do by the next release and worked in order of priority. That's it. Simple and effective. The code was written in C/C++ and was written to run on Windows, SunOS, HP-UX, and AIX. We used a OSS GUI library called InterViews. It integrated with HP OpenView and IBM NetView. From a business perspective, the project was a failure. We made sales, but not enough. Eventually the project was terminated an we were all laid off. That is when I was hire by AOL, but that is another story.
