This is an ode to JOY, as it were. And a discussion about fandom access during the rise of social networking websites. Get out your sunblock, it's gonna be a scorcher.

I know for a period of time it was simultaneously the most important and most pointless "tool" the Internet cooked up since ... since the Internet came to fruition, I guess. My mom watches cable news all day every day, and a few months ago out of nowhere, she felt compelled to tell me, "What is Twitter? I don't even know what it is, but I hate it."
