Best time ever?!!?!!! 0_o
Time for other cities domains to do the same
I find this really interesting. New York City, as much as any other geo tld, has the incentive & opportunity to really build out .NYC steadily over the next 5-10 years. Their success will provide an example for other cities to follow should they choose to get behind their own city brand.
At some point, there is sufficient critical mass whereby enough local businesses buy into .NYC and it becomes familiar to people both regionally and then nationally.
Turn out was amazing. We had CEO of Chamber of commerce opening speak, and we were jam packed with around 150-200 people.
