A real-time, online checklist program, eBird has revolutionized the way that the birding community reports and accesses information about birds…  eBird’s goal is to maximize the utility and accessibility of the vast numbers of bird observations made each year by recreational and professional bird watchers.  It is amassing one of the largest and fastest growing biodiversity data resources in existence…  The observations of each participant join those of others in an international network of eBird users.  eBird then shares these observations with a global community of educators, land managers, ornithologists, and conservation biologists.  In time these data will become the foundation for a better understanding of bird distribution across the western hemisphere and beyond.

In addition to submitting your own observations you can explore data gathered by the entire community, displayed on maps, charts, and graphs.

Would you like to get in better shape?  Do you sometimes have a hard time finding the motivation to go out and exercise or improve your diet?  Do you always have an easy time finding the motivation to play games? SlimKicker.com is a website, an app, and an online community that helps keep you motivated towards your fitness goals by turning exercise and healthy eating into a role-playing game where you can earn points, complete challenges, level up, win prizes, and more.  According to SlimKicker:

SlimKicker was formed to solve a huge problem when it comes to losing weight, or living healthier: sustaining motivation…  That’s why we created SlimKicker, a level-up game and point-based program.  You start by tracking your diet, where whole foods are worth more points than processed foods.  It’s similar to Weight Watchers, but in reverse.  But diet, and fitness are half of the battle.  Most people regain weight because they never learn long-term habits.  We solve this by taking habits as quitting soda, and turning them into 7-30 day challenges.  Like a regular game, the challenges start out easy, and gradually become harder, with more points.  We encourage you to check-in daily with others doing the same challenge for accountability and social support.

SlimKicker can be used with other diet and exercise programs to make them more effective or it can be used on its own.  Some of SlimKicker’s many tools include: a calorie counter, a fitness tracker, recipes for specific diets, an iPhone app, and more.  SlimKicker also has discussion forums, groups, and a blog.
