An exciting shared authoring opportunity

I was recently asked by Ed Mitchell from the Trans­ition Net­work to par­ti­cip­ate in an exper­i­ment to share the author­ing and man­age­ment of the Trans­ition­Towns Twit­ter account along with top bloke Richard Barnett of Trans­ition New Forest who posts to Twit­ter on the TT New Forest account.

You can read more about the exper­i­ment on Ed’s blog at the Trans­ition Net­work site but in essence, Richard and I will be tak­ing over the Twit­ter account for a short while and explor­ing new ways of work­ing with Twit­ter in order to fig­ure out the best strategies for rais­ing aware­ness of Trans­ition on Twit­ter as well as enga­ging with other people who are in Trans­ition already.

Ed’s a braver man than me, since I’m not sure I’d be so eager to allow my Twit­ter account into someone else’s hands!

I’m really flattered to have been offered the chance to help with such an inter­est­ing pro­ject for such an amaz­ing organ­isa­tion and I’m look­ing for inter­est­ing and excit­ing news stor­ies and people to con­nect while I’m involved in the account. Please send me any­thing you feel would be of interest to those who are inter­ested in the inter­na­tional Trans­ition Net­work. There are some inter­est­ing devel­op­ments hap­pen­ing right now so it should be a fas­cin­at­ing experience.
