@techartmaker (@TechArtMaker) reported from Los Angeles, California@NnnnnDeee @Activoid @pramsey342 @AOC I’m glad you support America Online. Personally, I think it’s a dead platform, but Canada seems perpetually stuck in the past anyway. Now, read the room and go back to whatever it is you Canadians do. Surfing moose-riding chat rooms on AOL I suppose... #Muted for stupidity.

PATRIAUTISM (@patriautism) reported from Los Angeles, California@joncoopertweets @AOL Howard is deathly afraid of having his taxes raised. He's a one-issue candidate for the wealthy. How pathetic.

Christian Buckley #CollabTalk (@buckleyplanet) reported from Los Angeles, California@joeloleson & @jwillie have not said a word about @MicrosoftTeams + AOL IM federation in their session. Apparently this customer segment is not a priority. Shocking. #SPSLA

Mark Ebner (@RealMarkEbner) reported from Los Angeles, California@DineshDSouza @goldengodzilla @KevinMKruse Where is this "show?" Is it on AOL or some ****?
-
Jake Hamby (@jhamby) reported from Los Angeles, California@chococherries1 @TomMerfy @jathansadowski We can’t blame all or even most of our problems on AOL. In the end, they turned themselves from an “online service” into just another ISP. But they were an early example of the problems of moderating conversations. They had a lot of volunteers cleaning up the AOL chat rooms.

-
MissCarley (@MissCarley) reported from Los Angeles, California@Mikel_Jollett Thanks for adding that!! I’m a millennial (1982) and we had internet in the mid 90s but it was EarthLink and Prodigy and AOL and no one went to it for advice, lol. And parents didn’t care how long we played outdoors or where coz it meant they didn’t have to deal with our crap.

Nils Gilman (@nils_gilman) reported from Los Angeles, CaliforniaTime Warner didn’t live-tweet its meltdown after acquiring AOL. Daimler didn’t broadcast every day about the catastrophe of the Chrysler acquisition. Kmart and Sears died quietly together. MSFT and Nokia kept it on the down low, so did Google and Motorola, eBay and Skype, etc.

Andrew Benson (@AndrewBenson) reportedAirtable sold for a tenth of its peak. The founders kept the AI business. Bending Spoons announced today it's buying Airtable, all cash. The headline number hides three better stories. The deal: - Enterprise value: $1.285 billion - Equity value: ~$2.25 billion, but only because Airtable is sitting on ~$965M of net cash - Read that again: nearly half the purchase price is Airtable's own unspent money being handed back to shareholders - Peak valuation: $11.7B, December 2021 Series F. The business just cleared at roughly 89% below that - ARR: ~$480M, growing 20%. That's ~2.7x revenue. SpaceX paid 15x for Cursor six weeks ago The waterfall, per a widely shared model built on public terms (directional, assumes vanilla 1x prefs): - Everyone from Series C onward took par. Coatue, Thrive, Greenoaks, XN wrote checks at $1.1B, $2.6B, $5.8B, and $11.7B posts and got 1.0x of money back - CRV: ~21x on the 2015 Series A, ~6x on the B - Caffeinated Capital: ~37x on the A1 - Freestyle and Felix Shpilman at the 2013 seed: ~55x - ~$960M left for converting holders. The three founders, assuming ~15% held, split about $144M. Call it $50M each after 13 years - Same lesson as always: the last four rounds funded the exit for the first three Now the buried lede, from the SEC filing: - Before signing, Airtable ran a reorganization that transferred the entire "Hyperagent" business line out of the company into a separate entity, Hyperagent Inc - Hyperagent is the AI agent orchestration platform Airtable unveiled in early 2026, spin up teams of autonomous agents across your business tools - Bending Spoons is buying the database, the workflows, the 500K orgs, the 80% of the Fortune 100, and the $480M of recurring revenue - The seller is keeping the agents On Hyperagent's performance: there are no disclosed numbers. It launched roughly six months ago. No ARR, no customer counts, nothing public. What we know is that it was worth carving out of a billion-dollar deal, which is its own kind of disclosure. On whether the founders stay: nobody has said explicitly. Howie Liu's statement talks about "building the AI-native platform of the future," which reads either way on purpose. But follow the structure, not the quotes. The founders' holding company now owns Hyperagent outright, free of the legacy business. One newsletter's blunt read: Liu keeps the AI project without having to be the one who does the layoffs. The Italians do that part. And they will. Bending Spoons' playbook is public record: buy at a discount, cut deep, raise prices on customers too embedded to leave, run it for cash. Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, AOL in January, Eventbrite in March. Airtable is the first deal since its July Nasdaq listing at $18.4B, and the first paid for with public-market currency. The frame: a decacorn built over 13 years just sold its core for less than the cash on its own balance sheet plus a modest premium, while the founders walked out the back door with the AI upside in a clean-room entity. The 2021 vintage investors got their money back and nothing else. The seed got 55x. And the most honest sentence in the whole transaction is a highlighted paragraph in a 6-K that nobody reads. Every exit this cycle tells you where the value is. This one says: the workflows are worth 2.7x revenue. The agents are worth keeping.

Rhiyddun (@rhiyddun) reported@qaggnews @ColonelTowner @MarkEDeschaine True, back then the community was a lot smaller and better connected in a way, it was just us computer geeks, after all, just getting connected to the internet was difficult until Aol and Bix. I helped bring cable modems and digital set top boxes to the public but that wasn't until mid 90s. Before then, a fast connection was a 44.1Mb T3 at work, or a blazing 128kb from home, you could with some trouble get a T1... A fast CPU ran faster than 2MHz... (not GHz) The fastest link, mid 80s the Boston globe could get going from one side of town to the other was a T2 microwave link, 6Mb, so until Bill Gates started selling pc's to anyone, it was a close and honest community, not without the odd ones, but anti social was the 'uunet' red line I guess. How long did the gets() vulnerability remain unexploited? Years. People didn't break into other systems as a usual thing. That was 40 years ago though and things just aren't the same. The Arduino crowd strikes me as having some of the hobbyist sort of enthusiasm you'd see back then.

BrINg ME ThE tOKeN (@annieelsa2) reported@AuriBlooms I feel like all these ppl who have this sick POV of TCAP being bad in the early 2000s obvy never got lured by a predator. I have & this commentary is sick & upsetting for victims of online child predators. He showed America the harm of AOL and issues parents were not aware of.
