No matter what you celebrate, or where you live, we here at UnmatchedStyle wish you the safest and warmest of holidays, and are looking forward to a great 2015 with all of you!
In the website world – two of the most popular websites today, December 24th are the Google Santa Tracker and the NORAD Santa Tracker. They are both fun sites, that expand each year.
NORAD’s site is more of a 3-D map overlay for the tracker, with games and other things to do and watch throughout the site. Also on the tracker, there are video fly-throughs when you hit major cities like Sydney, Paris and London when you find the Santa Cam Videos.
Two interesting points of interest are how NORAD started “tracking Santa” (starting in 1955 with Sears printing the wrong number for a “Call Santa” line – that actually rant through to CONAD Commander-in-Chief’s “hotline” – story on home page). Second – you can still call NORAD and ask them where Santa is – 1-877-HI-NORAD – and a human answers the phone – ask them whatever you like – we were surprised it wasn’t a recording.
Google’s Santa Tracker runs along the same lines – but is very current with web trends – flat design, animated SVGs, candy cane pre-loaders.
There is a ton of content here – not only with all the auxiliary things you can do on the site – but also in the tracker itself, with all of the images and video that go along with each selected stops in all the countries.
So, if you celebrate Christmas – this is a fun way to show your kids how metrics can affect every part of your life… haha.
Again – we wish you a great rest of the year!
