Getting Lost: The Peter Watts twitter experiment

In a world of smartphones and GPS, journalist Peter Watts has an unusual objective – to try and find out if it’s possible to get lost via social media. To test this, he will be embarking on a walk guided by the Design Museum's Twitter followers. Starting at the museum, Peter will follow your directions for which way to walk. Join in by tweeting your suggestions to @peter_watts with #LifeonFoot.
