People still used AOL at the time Facebook started?
The smartphones were the start of a new era. That was when the third world was more than a blip on the internet.
Facebook started in 2004, there were still plenty of people using AOL back then, though it was declining.
Dude, people are still using AOL provided dial-up internet service until the end of this month.

Enough to consider it an AOL era of the internet to be split into?
I would consider the AOL era ended when they stopped having "AOL keywords" instead of web addresses and trying to have websites only accessible through AOL. The last time I remember seeing any of that nonsense was maybe 2000 or so.
You expressed surprise that people were using AOL 21 years ago. I was surprised to learn that people were still using AOL dial-up TODAY.

I agree with your era sentiment.
