Abstract
A system and method for listing activities within particular categories. Activities that are accomplished/achieved by respective users can be tracked and stored in a database. Accomplishments of users can be compared against accomplishments of other users and achievement levels can be computed and outputted. Achievement scores can also be calculated for each user. Activities can be associated with particular categories (e.g., “scuba diving.”) Particular categories can be associated with general categories (e.g., “sports.”) Users are permitted to contribute to and modify the activities and/or particular categories and/or general categories. Each user can record their own accomplishments against the list including information specific to that activity such as dates, location and attributes using a computer connected to a computer communications network such as the Internet. The user can compare his or her accomplishments against predefined thresholds related to a number and type of activities accomplished, or other users or user maintained accomplishment lists. As a user'"'"'s accomplishments grow past the achievement thresholds the user will be granted awards to acknowledge his or her achievements.
