Droid Designate #4 has hit the docks in NYC! The evolution of the smart phone has taken a

 

[damstr]

Is it just me or did it disappear from the twitter account?

Yeah I just noticed this...weird...

 

[Pavilion]

It's gone.

me 2...

 

[zane!]

It appears to have disappeared.

It's gone.

Not for me on the twitter site. Or my twitter app.

EDIT: NOW it's gone on the site, my app still has it. Odd. I hit refresh a good 10 times and it wasn't going away.

 

[cmatheny]

It's gone.

At least that ain't weird...

 

[nearperfectmess]

It disappeared?! Did someone jump the gun?

 

[Torgo]

They can't just delete it either. I'd at LEAST expect a -- "DROID #4 has successfully landed in the palms of a hunter, *insert cheesy crap about specs here*"

 

[damstr]

Like the OP said if someone found it they can't keep it up.

 

[agsills]

Rockefeller Park is a good guess. Has anyone considered South Street Seaport? There is a museum there, which could relate to "long time." Also, they referenced the place as the "capital of the world," which could be a reference to Wall St.

i think joel is right....its a park and its by the docks in nyc...it fits everything we've been saying....peopple in nyc, get your asses to rockefeller park!!!

 

[dark1der]

It might have been found but I like the Colgate clock idea...right off the water too!

Edit: Just looked at the location of Colgate Clock...actually in NJ...nvm

 

[mattdouglaschambers]

Like the OP said if someone found it they can't keep it up.

Mhmm. If they kept it up people would be going there forever. So they need to take it down once found.

 

[zane!]

Yep. Must have been found. They can't leave it up.

Good thought.....

 

[nearperfectmess]

Mhmm. If they kept it up people would be going there forever. So they need to take it down once found.

One would think they would tweet that it had been found though...

 

[supersaki]

Well if it was found already, it took less than 30 minutes to find..

Doesn't bode well for me unless they put #5 in far north Dallas.

 

[bbuck002]

by the way, someone named droiddecoder just started following me on twitter and this was their lastest post on their account...


You have until 8:02PM to locate designate #4 in NYC. If it is not located by then a random person in the vicinity will be awarded the cert. 11 minutes ago via web

Designate #4 is LIVE in New York City, NY 17 minutes ago via web
also their twitter site is the same everything as teh droidlanding site

 

[tmatt]

I thought about it, but there are obscene amounts of docks in NYC, so talk about an unhelpful clue until I can figure out "Long Time"....though it doesn't seem to be an anagram for anything meaningful.

Surely they would tweet something like "Droid X designate #4 has been found."

Wouldn't they??

 

[crazyzete]

I agree. And it wasn't up for that long. If it were in Times Square and that were the tweet, I'd say it would be a matter of minutes. But it looks like Rockefeller Park is a little more remote if you don't happen to be there.

 

[JoelR]

There is Gothem Walking tours in the building to the East of "Long Time". Bet they have maps in there...
