Lil Bit Special Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 My parents still use aol... they dont pay anymore, but they are used to what is there and are comfortable for them. a couple of years ago when they got Optimum cable, they refused to use that email and kept paying AOL.

joebabyny Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 they had the market cornered for a while didn't they? I didn't even know they were still around They were HUGE! Back in the mid 90's when most people had never heard of the world wide web they had over 30 million subscribers and now that the whole world is on the web they have around 7 million. Their value has gone from 240 billion to under 20 billion The lack of capacity for their huge growth and the feet dragging in letting members access the open internet really were their demise.

Jetlag Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Google Chrome is my favorite internet browser. I started to use it when it first came out. Then I started getting some error on pages when I'd use the backwards button, have you gotten that, if so has it been fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 they had the market cornered for a while didn't they? I didn't even know they were still around They were a beatch if you tried to cancel it. I had friends who tried for weeks but could never get ahold of them.

Then I started getting some error on pages when I'd use the backwards button, have you gotten that, if so has it been fixed? No problems here... For whatever it's worth, it's out of beta now so it's probably much more stable than when you first used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I still have a free AOL account even though I have a Verizon FIOS hookup with email. It's jsut what I've always used. Not scientific but my business makes me get everyone customer's email address. Seems the younger you are the more likely you have hotmail or gmail or something more current. But older people like me (35 and up) who like me are too lazy to change their business cards and buddy lists probably are more likely to use AOL. Though I doubt anyone is paying for it any more. In fact when I got FIOS part of the sell was easy interfacing wit AOL,and that's proven to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with 3.0 on windows 3.1 People who use Gmail and other services just like the newest and best thing... its easy enough to switch and keep AOL mail coming as well... As for Buddy Lists... I didnt even realize people used instant messaging after high school... (sorry War E I know you stopped in middle school... lol) Maybe I am the one thats out of the loop..

With texting IM went the way of the dinosaur. Don't like either, but there are people who spend every day with their thumbs going 100 MPH all day.

war ensemble Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Facebook and other social networking sites also made IM's unnecessary. Not only do they have a chat feature built in, sending messages is easier. I don't have the time to stay on the computer IMing for an hour at a time any more...
