Who’d have thought that Pigeon Man would turn out to be so popular? While reviewing the stats for a website I noticed a huge spike in the number of downloads of an audio file. That audio file was linked from a blog entry made during a trip to Washington D.C. During that trip we encountered Pigeon Man. I took a picture of him, feeding pigeons from the trunk of his car. We talked about the event that night, and that discussion became the audio file. All that happened a couple years ago.
Fast forward to this week, when I notice downloads of that audio file have spiked. Normally a small number of downloads has turned into hundreds. On a whim I Googled “Pigeon Man” and was surprised to see a familiar picture- yep, my picture of pigeon man gets top listing on Google. A click on the picture shows the blog post and one of the nearest links is the audio file. Mystery solved. Almost.
Why is pigeon man so popular?
