FanLib The Object Lesson

[stewardess.livejournal.com]

A recent editorial on the Helix/Sanders disaster brings up FanLib's founders as an example of how to totally screw things up when dealing with online fandom: Do Not Tease Nor Feed The Fans at FireFox News.

Quote: If you behave like an ass fandom will notice that you are braying.

This is at least the fourth time I've seen FanLib appear as a disaster anecdote. It seems their reputation as blunderers will be their most lasting legacy.

That's a brilliant article - and not just for the Fanlib stuff - thanks for the link. Lessons for all of us I think.
