Acquired by H&R Block in 1980, CompuServe became a leader in digital innovations like email, online newspapers, and chat forums, with The Columbus Dispatch becoming the first online newspaper. '... it turned out that what was most popular is not reading reliable news sources, but just shooting the breeze with your friends or arguing with strangers over politics,' said former tech journalist and early Compuserve user Dylan Tweney. Despite competing with Prodigy and AOL through the 1990s, CompuServe struggled with the rise of the internet. AOL acquired the company in 1997, but CompuServe remains a digital pioneer for fostering online communities. 'For a lot of people, CompuServe was a connection to the world and their first introduction to the idea that their computer could be more than a computer,' said Tweney. 'It was a communications device, an information device.' Read more of this story at Slashdot.
