Alongside the main Shift-Time Festival we're running a project to get Shrewsbury and the surrounding area blogging. We want people to use the festival to experiment with all sorts of "social media" services be they weblogs, photo and video sharing sites like Flickr and YouTube or Twitter. The end result, we hope, is to give Shrewsbury the tools to talk to itself about things that matter, whatever they may be.

This blog will act as a hub, collecting and linking to online activity that is either relevant to the festival or Shrewsbury in general, and posting things to to help and inspire you to blog about Shift-Time.

So get involved by setting up a blog or sharing your photos and videos online and let us know what you're up to so we can mention it on the blog.

Sam Moore’s Eyeful of Sound blog documents the development of her animated documentary about audio-visual synaesthesia which as well as promoting her work has helped her get in touch with synesthetes from around the world. It’s a nice example of talking about your work online can help develop the work itself.

She’s also involved in Shift-Life which will be on display in the Quarry Park over the weekend of July 4-5th and has shared one of the beasties on her blog:
