I was of the impression that the original meaning of lol was laughing out loud. Now it seems to be applied for everything.

it still means laugh out loud, but now people just laugh at everythingggg, or say it when they have nothing else to say..
More accurately, the acronym "lol" should be redefined as "Lack of laughter."
Depending on the chatter, its definition may vary. The list of its meanings includes, but is not limited to:
1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."
2) "I'm too lazy to read what you just wrote so I'm typing something useless in hopes that you'll think I'm still paying attention."
3) "Your statement lacks even the vaguest trace of humor but I'll pretend I'm amused."
4) "This is a pointless acronym I'm sticking in my sentence just because it's become so engraved into my mind that when chatting, I MUST use the meaningless sentence-filler 'lol.'"
Example:
Statement: Sorry if I'm not too cheery, my best friend just died yesterday.
