SF Online Community MeetUp featuring Jeff Elder of Storify

SF Online Community MeetUp is the free monthly gathering of online community managers, enthusiasts, and innovators to meet and discuss tools and strategies for building and managing effective communities.

Join us this month as we welcome Jeff Elder (http://twitter.com/JeffElder), Marketing Director at Storify (http://storify.com), for his talk, "What To Do When Your Community Wants To Kill You." Whether you work for a startup, a nonprofit, or a Fortune 500, social media can be a volatile place. Elder has weathered 20,000 negative comments in one day on Facebook and turned that same campaign into a huge success. Here's how to face down the angry crowd, fire a gun into the air and yell, "All right you animals, that's enough!"

Has your community ever wanted to kill you? How did you handle that? Bring your own war story to share during the Q&A!

Here are all the ways you can take part in the event! Feel free to participate in any and all of these ways:
