Winston the Pigeon
WINSTON THE PIGEON HOPES TO BEAT THE INTERNET.
In what must be one of the better stories going around at the moment, Winston the homing pigeon has been hired by a Hillcrest (KZN) company to fly 4gb of data from Howick to their offices.
The Financial Services company called “The Unlimited” is investigating ways to transport data that is faster than a phone line.
Winston, will fly with a memory card strapped to his leg and hopes to make it in under an hour, over the 70km distance.

Lets hope that he does not stop to charm a budgie along the way !!
Speedy Winston, already has his own Facebook Page and Twitter Following and this is a perfect example of the power of Social Media Marketing, as the internet and newspapers are already in a flap over this and I am sure that “The Unlimited” is getting some great publicity.
