That's really interesting to hear that somebody is actually attempting what is really the ultimate Walkabout, though I can never help but feel these attempts to "bring journalism to the digital age" are just a bit cringe-worthy.

There's something about spamming the story across Twitter and Facebook that, in my opinion, misses the mark of being a digital story. It just never feels as genuine compared to successes like One Red Paperclip which just evolved as it went on, it was "emergent" from the web culture at the time.

Thanks for sharing!
