ArrivedOK works with LinkedIn

20 Jan   |   Author: Andrey Deriabin  |  Category: Uncategorized

ArrivedOK is now working with LinkedIn, which is going to make both ArrivedOK and LinkedIn more powerful for you.

When you set your arrival alerts on ArrivedOK you can now make them appear in your LinkedIn status immediately after landing, letting your colleagues and business contacts know where you are in real time – without using your mobile or smartphone onboard. You can also customize your message to your LinkedIn connections, making it different from arrival alerts delivered to your friends, family, or posted to your personal blog.

Let the places you travel contribute to your professional identity on the web. Work, business or leisure, your trips bring important information about who you are, what you do, and how you do it. Show your followers that you’re a smart traveler.

How does ArrivedOK work with LinkedIn?

When you want to share your arrival details with a broader audience via LinkedIn (posting to Facebook, blogs and Twitter is also available) – go to your ArrivedOK Preferences and connect LinkedIn to your Profile.

When creating your arrival message, go to ‘Post to blog/network’ section, check ‘LinkedIn’ box and type your message if you want. That message will appear in your LinkedIn status right at the moment you turn on your phone upon your arrival, altogether following our standard ‘I arrivedOK in…’ text.

So go ahead and get started. Link your ArrivedOK and LinkedIn accounts today.

We at Arrivedok.mobi deployed an experimental mobile Twitter add-on application that lets you tweet from your cell phone FOR FREE even from abroad, avoiding charges for SMS, voice or data transfer.

It is available for ArrivedOK registered users only.

How to use it and save money on text and data traffic:

  • First, login to your ArrivedOK account or sign-up and authorize your mobile phone to use with ArrivedOK.
  • Second, make sure your ArrivedOK account is bound with Twitter in your Profile:My Blogs settings.
  • Third, dial +442033550595 FREE of charge from the phone you registered with ArrivedOK and follow the instructions on your phone’s display. See below how it works.

Dial +442033550595. You won’t hear a voice reply. Your call just evokes the interactive menu you’ll see next. You’ll see the numbered menu. Press OK, enter “1″ (no quote marks) for Twitter, and send it back. Likewise, choose between the options that appear: (1) tweet whatever you want, (2) preview & tweet a random quotation, (3) tweet your followers about that mobile tool, “0″ to return.
For example, you choose “1> Type & tweet”. You see the usual “What are you doing?” Twitter prompt. Press OK and start typing… … like that. Then press OK to send it. That’s it. You’ll get a confirmation that your tweet has been sent. You can just hang up now.

WARNING: It may not work in all mobile networks. For support inquiries, please visit our Support page or email to our techsupport@.
