  @Quadripolar_B I was in one in the AOL days. I dominated that **** until they asked me to run it. I still have some of the shows I wrote. I can't believe I ever had the imagination and attention span for that. I gave myself carpal tunnel.

  There's a line in The Lean Startup that stung when I read it last week: "learning" is the oldest excuse in the book for a failure of execution. Eric Ries tells the story of IMVU's first product. His team spent six months building an instant-messaging add-on, based on a genuinely smart-sounding strategy: piggyback on existing IM networks (AOL, Yahoo!, MSN), ride their network effects, spread virally through people's existing friend lists. Whiteboard-brilliant. They launched. Nobody used it. When they finally sat real customers down in front of the product, every assumption fell apart. Customers weren't scared of learning new software - the average teenager ran eight IM clients at once. They didn't want to chat with existing friends through avatars - they wanted to meet strangers. The "obvious" barrier the whole strategy was built around wasn't a barrier at all. Ries's point isn't "test more." It's sharper than that: in a startup, any effort that doesn't produce evidence about what customers actually want is waste - no matter how well it's executed. He calls the real version of this validated learning, to separate it from the after-the-fact story you tell yourself when something doesn't work. I'm sitting in a smaller version of that exact test right now with Owoye. One of the assumptions baked into the product is that WhatsApp and IG sellers want their invoices auto-matched to incoming payments. It sounds obviously useful from where I sit. But that's precisely the position IMVU's team was in - certain, and wrong, about what would remove friction for their customer. So this week will not be spent refining the feature. It will be spent in conversations with actual sellers, watching how they track who's paid right now - screenshots, memory, WhatsApp scrollback - before deciding whether "auto-match" solves their problem or just mine. The uncomfortable question worth asking about your own product this week: is the thing you're building solving a problem your customer has, or a problem you have with how your customer works?

  @YomiQuinnley I have 14, I just never got an AOL address because I grew up poor. I didn't get Internet until 2005.

  @nachtnoir @DebbieVee @middle_class_us We were dirt poor. No cable till I was 17, no internet other than free disk aol dialup till 16. Mom coupon shopped at Aldi's exclusively. We still went on family vacations once or twice a year. Albeit our vacations were either camping or road trip to a relatives.

  @dakroot I started...1994? Intro to computer science I was sold & never looked back. ICQ (messenger) predated aol msgr, it was pretty cool, & i did like chatrooms. I worked nights & usually stayed up all night doing homework, so they were good ways to "socialize" around my crazy hours.

  230 people. One inflatable boat. New record. The dinghy was already carrying 50 people when it stopped to pick up more — around 30 fell into the water during the scramble to board. French rescuers watched it leave “buckling under the swell.” It broke the previous record of 165, set just last month. Here’s the number nobody’s posting today: total Channel crossings in 2026 are down 43% from this time last year. Fewer boats. More people crammed into each one. The smugglers didn’t lose the trade — they just made the math worse per boat. (ITV / AOL, Aug 10, 2026)
