"job security"? We got outsourced to some offshore low-bidder whose call center was apparently staffed by AOL dial up veterans. The very first all-hands telecom was hosted by some guy on the other side of the planet, who actually spent 30 minutes reading off names instead of using some modern technology to capture attendance. I'm glad I got out of that racket.

I find it amusing to see a few people I know still using AOL these days.

I didn't use AOL for long as I quickly found a real ISP, but they were definitely a vital stepping stone for many.

I just skimmed the wrap-ups on the 4chan/Podesta/WL thing that went down tonight and... well, it really is one of those moments.

Same login data for different services, recovery email at Yahoo, WH asking for SSN/DOB through email -- they either really don't give a fuck or they are utterly incompetent.

And it just keeps on giving. I got as far as seeing that both the CIA director and the National Security Advisor use AOL, which was when I called it a day.

There's only so much you can take...

Windows 95 looks and functions very much like windows today. And modern PC towers all have power buttons on both the Tower and the monitor. And finally, no one that had a clue ever used AOL.

Also navigating a PC in DOS is not done through 'code' and is still to this day how I navigate in Linux.

Nothing shocking here. I hope these kids are playing it up... for their sake.

dOcvw is gone!

Joystiq, Massively and WoW Insider are all for the chop. They are all owned by AOL, who are apparently tired of propping them up.

Rumours abound that other sites are also in financial trouble and may also be closing. It's a shame, as having all news and reviews concentrated into a less diverse group of places isn't good for anyone.

I can appreciate his humor.

"I still think AOL's cool."

That's funny.

Yeah, and the whole 'promote' a status thing, with the option of paying to promote being trialled also spells the end it would seem.
People are entrenched, to be sure, but if a cleaner, competitor comes along and provides a simple migration process ('enter your login details and we'll transfer all your photos/videos over to our FlubBrook service now'), people will jump ship if Facebook keeps becoming more and more and more of an advertising platform rather than a social network.

I think any competitor would genuinely struggle simply to overcome the inertia, i.e. everyone is on facebook because everyone is on facebook. Look at Google+. Their interface was cleaner, they had some neat ideas (I still think the "circles" concept is something facebook needs to steal), but no-one posted there because they weren't going to post the same thing twice. As a sidenote, I personally didn't like using google as a social network. Google already knows waaaay too much about me.


Don't underestimate the power of 'new and improved'... No-one thought people would move away from AOL at the time. People thought Myspace was the bee's knees. It seems like the way to build up a new social network is start specialised then grow out.

Myspace did with music, then grew out.
Facebook did so with one school, then many then anyone.
Google+ didn't do that, and it doesn't seem to be catching on yet.

If there's a competitor where they do something the others don't do really well, perhaps for a particular sub section of the market. Then that group of people will favour it... then slowly others who have to interact with the sub section will keep finding themselves being pointed there... then eventually THEY want to get in on this new action... then they use the new site's ability to auto post to Facebook so their old friends don't miss anything... then the old friends start wanting to use these new fangled things the new site has... until everyone has shifted over and Facebook becomes a wasteland that only receives auto posts from other sites.



Or, you could be right and it'll be here until we blast off from the rotting ball of Earth for our new home on another planet.

Ahh, I remember my first internet experience with Dial-up AOL. Those clicks, beepings, and static sounds while connecting was music to my ears.


Come to think of it. AOL created Dub-Step.
