@Peter: It’s hard to avoid the “bubble” mentality sometimes. In my reviews, I try to make it clear what geographical area the book/app/etc covers, but I’m sure I don’t always do a good job of that.

On another note, I recently posted a review of Birdcountr, a listing app (for North America). I’ll be interested to see how “My Bird Observations” compares to it.

I found it very easy to upload my sightings to eBird (via the free Box.net service) from my iPod Touch. If its interface could be filtered down to smaller locales (as we have in the eBird data entry page) it would be much easier to use in the field by simply updating the species and numbers along the way. It produces a file that meets eBird standards for importing data. (Forgive me, Peter, but I hope the first set of filters will be at the USA State level) It is cheap, and certainly worth a try. If you have questions, Gina is very responsive to inquiries.

I have birded on other continents and I find guides for those places before I go. So with the resources available on the web I was able to make my choice of guides for the “bubble” and the rest of the world. With the resources on the web, I was able to find local birders to bird with when I traveled.

Since I am exposed to technology developments here in the “bubble”, they tend to be geo-centric until developers/birders on other contents get into the technology. You can be that person?

This is the WORLD WIDE web not the US web, so it would be useful for all of us if you made it clear that you are only dealing with a specific region of the world. Go on try it! Try to imagine a world beyond the Mexico and Canadian borders (let alone those large expanses of water with those scary places called continents).
