Originally an acronym typically taken to stand for "laughing out loud" (also occasionally "lots of laughs," "lots of love," "lots of luck") in internet forums, chat rooms, and text messages, it has evolved to fit a role as an indicator either of the tone of a previous statement, or an acknowledgement that a message was received through an online medium.
Because of the nature of conversations occurring through text, it is not always simple for the intended audience to know whether a statement was meant to be comical, hostile, serious, written in anger, etc. Ending a textual statement with "lol" is an indicator that the statement was made in jest or without any intended hostility toward the recipient(s).
When used as an indicator of reception, "lol" signifies that the recipient was present, though it is rarely an indicator that they actually read the message they received.
"lol" is sometimes used in spoken conversation as an interjection pronounced either as "el oh el" or "lawl" and typically indicates excitement, enthusiasm wry amusement, irony, or skepticism.
"Gosh, I can't stand you! lol"
or
Sender: "Hey. Just got back from work and found out my uncle died. :("
Recipient: "lol"

An abbreviation for "Laugh Out Loud" that is used in cyberspace. It is rarely (if ever) meant literally. Maybe there was a time that it LITERALLY meant "Laugh Out Loud", however, I have been active in cyberspace for over ten years and am unaware of this time.
What “lol” is, is simply one of the many ‘online lingoes’ that are used to communicate things that IRL (in real life) would otherwise be communicated through either voice tone or body language. In particular, “lol” is used to signify that the individual typing it finds something humorous about what they are saying EVEN IF this individual typing it may not literally be "laughing out loud”
"lol" and most other 'online lingo' also tend to be used in text messages and high school note-passing. And with the exception of text messages (when laziness may ensue), the first letter to “lol” is not usually capitalized, even when it is the start of a sentence or a sentence by itself.

A acronym that is extremely overused, and it stands for "laugh out loud".
Usages:
1. It means, "I really didn't laugh out loud at all, I really typed this because I would feel awkward and judged if I didn't."
2. "I'm really just afraid of what you think of me, so if I type 'lol' then I do not have to worry about you taking anything I say seriously."
3. "I just said something that is potentially embarrassing, I should follow up with an 'lol' just in case."
4. "I am not eloquent enough to think of anything better to say than 'lol'."
1. Person 1: "So then I said, 'That wasn't a gynecologist, that was a pediatrician!'"
Person 2: "lol"
2. Person 1: "I love you..." (Why I am telling you this through text or IM, I do not know.)
Person 2: *no reply*
Person 1: "Um! LOL! HAHA!"
3. Person 1: "I just joined a cult where we slaughter baby rabbits and drink their blood."
Person 2: "!!!"
Person 1: "LOL!"
4. Person 1: "So what are your theories on the space time continuum?"
Person 2: "Uh, lol!"
