In my opinion there is no better list server. I use IOC to list, my updates are already done days before the IOC even releases the update to the public. Is easy to upload your current spreadsheet to the site in whichever tax you prefer - Clements or IOC. More than just a simple bird listing site - you can twitch absolutely everything, Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Fungi, Fish, Dragonflies etc. As a guide, I don't have the time to be fiddling about with my personal lists all the time. In 2014 for example I spent pretty much the entire year on the road racking up over 3000 year species in 22 different countries. I finished the year with something like 800+ in Colombia and another 700+ in Ecuador in less than 6 weeks - all updated with immediate effect. I can import my sighting using spread sheets, direct entry or by iPhone application which allows me to record int he field, without connectivity and upload when I next hit internet access. Perhaps the fundamental advantage is that there is a team of listers that own and run the site, but the user drive content and functions. If you need or want a specific function - they can build and implement it for you.</blockquote>
