🤯 ”Beta-test users were generally disappointed that the new service did not give them access to the ‘real’ AppleLink, and eventually the service was released instead as #AmericaOnline. Aaron Marcus and Associates, Inc. […] working closely with #Apple's software engineers, designed the icons, dialogue boxes and screen layout for AppleLink Personal Edition. These icons and some dialogue boxes were incorporated into the first graphical user-interface design of America Online.”

@hosford42 I do share similar hopes about social media. I see corporate social media today like the #CompuServe and #AmericaOnLine/#AOL of the 1990s before standardized internet email became commonplace and you could be with any provider and choose your domain.

@petersuber I vividly remember the early days of the web when it was unclear whether it would matter to average people compared to walled-garden services like #AOL (then #AmericaOnline), #Prodigy, or #CompuServe.

IMHO the web’s early rise depended on two other factors:
• Graphical #browsers like #NCSA #Mosaic on mainstream computer operating systems (1993)
• Decommissioning of the US government-funded #NSFNET backbone, effectively ending restrictions on commercial Internet traffic (1995)

“One September, AOL put 3 million people online without any kind of instruction about what the norms were, and that was called ‘the September that never ended’ because it was no longer possible for the people who had been online to educate the newcomers about norms.” -@hrheingold
