20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Nov. 17, 1998 -- AIM, the Tripp Tapes, and Monica Lewinsky's Voice

November 17, 1998: Started the day with another AIM graphic promo and Personal Finance and home video promos, when the House Judiciary Committee releases the Linda Tripp tapes... we did a mid-day update on it:

With 20 years of hindsight, I have to say that "Admit It: You're Curious. You want to hear Monica's voice" is a garbage headline.

[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998. I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
