Clever .NYC barge ad — See GoDaddy’s

Barge message taunts neighbors across the Hudson.

Earlier today I wrote regarding the highly anticipated launch of .NYC domain names. GoDaddy is promoting the domain name heavily around Fresh York City, counting a big ad on a barge being piloted on the Hudson River.

Here are a couple photos of the barge, taunting Fresh Jersey residents regarding how Fresh York City has a domain name and they don’t.
