Ho, ho, hold the social phone. Come on now, Santa is as about old skool as you can get. He’s the jolly-old poster child traditional isn’t he – what with the sleigh transportation and sticking to snail mail for most of his communication?
Could he really change? Has he seen the light, dug out from under that snow bank of old ways and is he really trying something new? What signs would we look for with this secretive, red & white clad, ZZTop facial-haired man to know something had changed?
In the spirit of good cheer, here are the 10 ways we think you’ll know that Santa’s embraced social media this year:
10. Foursquare shows him checking into your livingroom, and another 2 billion livingrooms for that matter on Christmas Eve;
9. Job posting appears on LinkedIn for “Elf of Social Media”;
8. TechCrunch first to break the story of Santa’s Sleigh 2.0 feature release;
7. #cookiesandmilk top trending hashtag on Twitter;
6. “Fan of Rudolph” appears in your Facebook friend requests list;
5. Ashton scrambles to come up with new picture of Demi brushing her teeth in the bathroom as @jollyoldstnick moves into top spot;
4. Mrs. Claus seen crowdsourcing new knitted gift ideas on her blog;
3. Santa’s Village Entertainment launches joint venture with Fred Figglehorn creating The Elf Channel on YouTube;
2. Status update email from TripIt shows Kris Kringle about to start trip to 43,244 cities the week of December 21st;
…and the number one way you’ll know Santa has embraced social media this year is…
1. Announces he’s using social media monitoring this year to to help him know who’s been naughty and nice 
Happy holidays everyone.

A few more:
1. You ask your kids if they plan to write a letter to Santa and they say, “huh?, you mean write on his wall?”
2. Dave Carroll posts a music video on Youtube called, “Santa Breaks Chimneys”
3. TechCrunch publishes the “Naughty and Nice” list, reporting that it has gained access to hundreds of internal emails from a hacker elf.

And how about:
1) Someone starts raising Reindeer on Farmville.
2) You start getting DMs offering tips on how to get on 30 000 “nice” lists in less than a week.

A good post, made me laugh. Having said that, I recently argued online and at a social media dinner that Santa should avoid social media. The link is: http://www.contently-managed.com/blog/2009/12/14/why-santa-shouldnt-use-social-media/
