"A family friendly festival where 'normal people' can integrate and learn from social media geek types keen to blog, film, tweet and share in a festival environment."

for 11th - 15th March 2009. I believe some of the events will be taking place around the Custard Factory along with the usual cinematic venues in Birmingham. Keep and eye on the <a href="http://www.7inch.org.uk/">7 Inch</a> blog for news.

A cursory glance implies the extra day has meant things are a little more spread out meaning less clashes and more time for mooching. Might even take in a few talks.

"a festival of social games and playful experiences" encompassing "everything from fine artists making location-based work to huge flashmob games within the public spaces of the Southbank Centre." Looks pretty mental and fascinating.

The Fierce Festival blog kicks off with a short interview with the festival's creative director.

Fierce have a new Facebook group. If you're using Facebook for notifications of stuff you should join.

I had an idea about how the micro-blogging notification system Twitter could be used to make the Supersonic festival (and others) even better. It's generated some good feedback.

as a Wordpress blog. I'm liking this trend.
