Whom to Track:
Oneself or Someone Else?
I am one of the testers of ArrivedOK, my name is Ivan Komarov. First of all, I LOVE THE SERVICE! Because it makes it easy for me to track my wife who is often traveling. (This post should be called: who is tracking who? Or, better yet: are you tracking with me? Or, track off! Or, to track or not to track — that is the question!)
Moreover, my other friends in the NGO sector (or high paying private sector) often travel to “orange” (or some other “dangerous” color) alert places aka places not to go to on vacation.
It is nice to know that they have landed — especially if this happens at night or if it does not require much work from my people. I ask them to allow me and then I track them thus they don’t have to do anything, I do everything for them.
And I have started to wonder, how do people use ArrivedOK — to inform others of their whereabouts, or to track someone else by starting an account for them, obtaining their authentication code, and making records instead of them?
I do everything instead of my wife, and often when she is on the way to the airport. It is hard to get the code in time, and I have talked about it to the authors of the service.
We decided to ask you, dear users and readers of the blog:
By the way soon there will be a clearer way to track others — that’s for sure — as I was told by the authors.
You can also leave your thoughts as comments to this post. Safe Landings!

“You trackin’ me? You trackin’ me? You trackin’ me? Then who the hell else are you trackin’? You trackin’ me? Well I’m the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you’re tracking?”
