ArrivedOK: Notify without Roaming

ArrivedOK is a new application that notifies your friends and family that you have arrived at your travel destinations OK via SMS, email, your blog, LinkedIn and Twitter. The best part: you save on roaming fees. ArrivedOK doesn't do this by tracking flights, it does it by tracking your cell phone when you switch it on in your destination. Once it has been detected as on in the visiting mobile network, emails, SMS messages and more are sent out automatically.

This tool can come in handy for those of you who might forget to announce to people who are waiting that you have in fact arrived OK.

From their web site:
ArrivedOK has been selected as an Official Honoree in the 13th Annual Webby Awards in two categories: (1) Experimental & Innovation and (2) Best Use of GPS or Location Technology. The Official Honoree distinction is awarded to the top 15% of all work entered that exhibits remarkable achievement. With nearly 10,000 entries received from over 60 countries, this is an outstanding accomplishment for ArrivedOK team.
