Santa came for a visit to Original 106 today, to speak to kids across the North East on the wireless.
It was a perfect opportunity to do something interesting with the website. Tracking Santa was an idea that came up in the office during last week. Something similar to the NORAD Santa website that is run every Christmas Eve.
As he started his journey from Lapland this morning, we tracked him as he made his way to Aberdeen.
A few people asked me during the day on Twitter what was the technology behind it? Simple answer, Google Maps and a tracking device on Santas sleigh. Simple eh?
