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.

Sue asks, is Shrewsbury talking?

by Pete Ashton

Over the weekend Sue Jones posted a long question about the Shift Time blogging project entitled Is Shrewsbury Talking? prompted by the absence of posts on this blog over the week of the festival and questioning the purpose of the project and the commitment given to it.

I’ve written a (quite long) reply in the comments on her post answering some of her questions and hopefully explaining where the project came from and what its aims are. As I say there I’d welcome any thoughts, comments and questions you might have. You can leave them in the comments here, write them on your own blog (leave the link to your blog post in the comments) or if you want to pick up on something in Sue’s post feel free to join in there.
