The modern world can be a very lonely place. In the news you hear about people disappearing and no one knows the better until its way too late. As someone that did the whole internet dating scene, I can attest that there are some real nut jobs out there and having someone to check in with and make sure you arrived safe and sound is a great idea.
That’s where safecheckin comes into effect. Simply pay a small fee of $30 (called a false alarm fee) and get the added security of knowing that people will be called if you don’t happen to check back in on the website. They market the service as a way to notify relatives after a certain amount of time if you don’t check back in after skiing, but it could be used for any number of situations – dating, road trips, or hiking – basically anything.
They will make every attempt to contact you by land line or cell phone before they notify your designated responders so as to not freak out the authorities and your parents / concerned parties. When you sign in, you can leave all of the details of your location and who you are with so that whoever might be called to look for you can start in a logical place. This is a pretty smart service and while the design isn’t a very Web 2.0 look, the interaction is.
