Jeff LaMarche (@jeff_lamarche) reported from Cupertino, California@octothorpe PCPursuit wasn’t shenanigans. Totally legit service that let you use TeleNet (dial up backbone used by aol and compuserve) to make outbound calls in other regions. Was like $30/month. Now you could get to places to learn about shenanigans using it…

John K. Lin (@johnklin) reported from Mountain View, California@ccwu I remember being a Quantum Link subscriber on my Commodore 64 and 300 baud modem and that service disappearing fairly quickly. I only learned later from Kara Swisher's book on AOL that Quantum Link was the precursor to AOL.

Jeff Meyer (@meyerjr) reported from Sunnyvale, California@harrymccracken Alas, my AOL CD just got scratched and I'm off line until they answer my support escalation call requesting a replacement.

Matthew Rusch (@2Sexy4MyGPU) reported@TimothyImholt Some of those are still pretty widely used. Never had an AOL account unless AIM counts. You could add 1/2 a generation by including 8-tracks and valve testers.

Jan Stevens (@janstevens) reportedAirtable was worth $11 billion in 2021. Bending Spoons just bought it for an equity value of $2.25 billion. That's not a down round, that's a crater — roughly 80% of the value evaporated for the VCs who backed it, including Silver Lake and Salesforce Ventures. What makes this deal different from Bending Spoons' usual playbook is the customer. Evernote, WeTransfer, AOL — those are consumer brands, and the formula was always the same: acquire, cut headcount hard, optimize monetization, never sell. WeTransfer tested that formula's limits last year when a terms update tried to claim AI-training rights over user files, and had to reverse course within days. Airtable's customer base is 80% of the Fortune 100, running actual operational workflows on the platform, not casual file transfers. The same cost-cutting and monetization playbook that worked on consumer apps runs into a different kind of resistance when the users are enterprise data teams who can migrate a workflow, but can't tolerate a surprise terms change. Bending Spoons is about to find out if the model scales up, or if it only worked because the stakes were low enough that nobody was watching closely.

Experiment 7/29 ✨♌️🦁 (@jadorejontele) reportedMy first computer was a Gateway and we had an AOL free subscription for a month after purchase. We did dial up service and then switched to DSL when it became avail in our area. Damn I’m old as ****

Mike Presky (@michaelpresky) reported@mitchellvii Have used a wide variety of software programs and media platforms over the past 40 years. And X is definitely the worst I've ever seen. An incredibly bad design poorly implemented. It's like something some high school students made for a school project. Can't even correct a typo in a post, which was something we could do easily back in the 90s. America Online (anyone remember AOL?) was more modern and sophisticated and with fewer bugs.

Tommy Richards #OvertPsyops (ReMastered) (@tlthe5th) reportedLisa sent me the AOL email less than a month before she suddenly freaked out on me because I asked for divorce. And she's now lied to the judge AND police trying to get me in serious trouble and caused me an almost insurmountable amount of stress. I JUST wanted some SPACE.
