Song of the South Ate My Life

Social media may be a great boon to communication - and thus to fandom. But the rapidity at which
information spreads can carry the seeds of potential capacity, causing rancorous explosions and hurt feelings (to name a few possible outcomes). Twitterstorms are one such phenomenon - and are, in fact, an
increasingly common problem faced by the fannish community. Two fans braved the storm before last
year’s Worldcon, and helped get such a crisis under control: hear their story.
