Location Scout Linkit at nyc.locationscout.us

short version:

location scout linkit (locationscout.ning.com):

New York City and Northeast US Film Offices

misc location scouting and film production resources

long(er) version:

I “started an app” (well, actually I “cloned” Amy’s Robot: Linkit) on ning.com, which is a Web 2.0 /php/html/ajax (with rails in the wings) mashup (which probably means nothing to you)…

But I digress: whats very kewl about ning.com is you get to mashup their mashups! …and you dont have to be a programmer to achieve some considerable productivity in the process~ even kewler is, if you *do* know anything about writing code, the source for all their applications (“apps”) is available right on the site in true open-source fashion. More info here (if you’re the technically inclined type).

It took me about an hour to create locationscout linkit, it’s just links to most of the film offices and some of the production resources I call on fairly regularly, but since locationscout linkit is based on social bookmarking, folksonomy and tags (in the old days I think it was called “collaboration” I hope others will contribute their own bits of location scouting information so we can all become more productive.
