While Bird

'While Bird' is an anagram of 'Whil Bride' - the internet pseudonym of William McBride.| A While Bird is winged, and seemingly weightless, but, instead of soaring to limitless heights, it will dance and flit about just at the level of the treetops, looking down, checking back, bearing a quiet, melancholy patience. | This is my favourite website, and it changes according to my tastes.| These days you are likely to find here: Proust quotes, AU and US politicking notes, Burt Bacharach Feel Goods and the odd piece of patented Proesy. Other interests include: the ways in which theinternetchangeslives, quotes about hard work, and, of course, Sex and the Dead. Get in touch: will.bride[at]gmail.com

“ The public relations industry has managed to virtually hijack the entire Internet via so called “social” media that offer “free” services in exchange for amazingly brazen access to personal information, ideas and creative output on the part of the population. The success and ubiquity of this online system for stripping people of ideas and innermost thoughts on a daily, hourly and minute-by-minute basis demonstrates the personal influence that powerful “players” like Google/Facebook/Youtube/Twitter/iTunes etc have on those all too willing to give ideas and secrets up for an ersatz immitation of a meaningful social life. ”
