    I never had an AIM account, but my parents and I shared a Compuserve email (that they still both use). That is run by AOL also. Whenever you log in it says, "You Got Mail."

    • @angelfan2009

      stuart balchin icq was aim before aol did instant messaging. Teens to adults, especially those in internet business were quite fond of icq as it incorporated multi-user chatting.

    I remember first noticing the warning feature (in the first gen AIM client), and out of curiosity played around with it. It was possible to msg yourself and then warn yourself. One of my friends asked if I would be on AIM that evening. "Nope, can't get on till tomorrow. I'm banned for the night." / "What?? What'd you do?!" / "I spammed myself."

    I got my broadband through AOL about 15 years ago and used their email as my primary email, but then I changed broadband provider and couldn't use that email anymore which caused serious hassle, so ever since then I stayed completely away from AOL because of them stupidly tying an email address to a monthly subscription.

      @maeve.starlight 7 лет назад

      Texting was invented in 1992. Granted MySpace was founded in 2003, 14 years ago.The meaning of nostalgia is "a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations" so in my opinion I don't think nostalgia has to be a certain length of time ago. I feel nostalgia because of how simple things were with texting and for MySpace the times of changing profile backgrounds, choosing top 8 friends, finding the right song to evoke your feelings and personality for whatever "phase" you happened to be in that week. It's just crazy to me how progressive things have become and how fast the ease of texting changed, when just 8 years ago when I was in school it was work and took longer to send lengthy messages and actually typing out your emoticons.
