- A good point made by Shashank Nigam at SimpliFlying on Richard Branson’s interview about Virgin America.

You probably noticed that no web startup these days can live without a lousy Google Maps mashup of some kind or another. Somehow that even become a sign of the web 2.0. Anyway, when it comes to travel using Google maps is probably makes sense, and ArrivedOK is just the case. Take a look at the map of ArrivedOK Beta Testers flight arrivals. We didn’t do Google Maps integration yet, it’s just a screenshot, but I find it interesting and fun. We have multiple arrivals to the same airports but I didn’t put that info in, otherwise the picture would be too messy. You can view that at Google Maps website too. It’s been two weeks since the official Public Beta launch, and the list of countries from which we admit the testers is stil quite limited, yet we have our users flying, landing and getting tracked all over the globe from UK to Australia.

NB: You might notice there are still no landings in the U.S. That’s right, we wrote about that here, and we’re working on that.
