I wanted a .NYC web address from the moment I heard they would be available. Now I’m not so certain it was worth all that, but it’s cool.
You can only get a .NYC address if you live in the 5 boroughs of New York City. Domain name hucksters might try to game that system if the novelty of the URL gains genuine traction.
I wanted an alternative to 181.sorabji.com, which seemed clever at first but proved clumsy and unwieldy. 181 is my magic number for a variety of reasons, but it’s not worth a weird looking URL to make that point.
The proliferation of gTLDs (Generic Top Level Domains) has gotten ridiculous, but I liked the sound of .NYC. So I got it. There you go. I thought I’d have more to say about it but I do not.
