Back to the Future for AOL

Email This Entry

Posted by Arnold

In 1993, I gave America Online a brief trial. But everywhere I went, I found banal flirting rather than information. At one point, I remember typing in, "I'm too old and too married for this service."

I'm still married, and I'm ten years older, so I don't think I'll try AOL's latest venture.


Love.com members can browse profiles, find others who are online and available to IM, and can immediately initiate chat sessions with them.
