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.

Shift Time roundup

by Pete Ashton

An ongoing collection of stuff found online about Shift-Time over the weekend. This is from quick scans of people I’m already monitoring or that come up in searches for “shifttime”. I’ll be doing deeper searches over the next fortnight.

Steve Green did a lovely photoshoot of Theo Jansen last week

Blue Eyed Soul are getting ready and welcome feedback through Moya’s Twitter account.

Danny, aka Flickering Velvet, has posted some photos to Flickr.

Sue Tortoise has a great set of closeup photos of Umerus

Sue checks out ELF: Electronic Life Forms.

I’ve been wielding my Through the Viewfinder camera around the site.

Blue Eyed Soul thought my photos were rather nice. (Hey, I’m just reporting what I find!)

Lorna reports on the launch night with Paul Granjon

Martin Smith is doing daily blog posts. Friday is nice with the setup but Saturday is where the meat happens.

Lovely photo of TAKE from Gekko:

Blue Eyed Soul's TAKE: a dance in the park

And Sue has a great set of sepia-treated photos of the dance event.

As has Martin, although his as in colour.

    I’ve just set up a couple of threads on the festival Flickr group, one for links to sets/collections ON Flickr, the other for links to blogs, relevant websites, etc OUTSIDE of Flickr.

    If you are on Flickr, PLEASE use these threads: they are bare at present and I don’t want to be the only poster!
