The North American Aerospace Defense Command, otherwise known as NORAD is tracking Santa Claus\’s rounds this year, keeping up a tradition that has been going on for 54 years.
Norad has been working with Google for several years by way of Google Maps and Google Earth. Last year, they started using Google Analytics as well. Google is now sharing a video of last year\’s Santa tracking:
On the YouTube blog, Jeff Martin writes:
Oooh, it\’s almost Christmas! And that means that Santa is about to leave his digs at the North Pole to embark upon his \’09 World Tour, placing presents under the trees of good little girls and boys all over the planet. Where will he be, and when will he make it to your house?
You can find the answer at www.noradsanta.org . You see, every year, NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, tracks Santa\’s journey from the time he lifts off from his Arctic village to his final stop in Hawaii at the end of a looooooooong night. You can join the ride at Noradsanta.org or try m.noradsanta.org if you prefer to do your Santa tracking on a mobile phone. You\’ll also want to subscribe to the NORAD Tracks Santa YouTube channel , which will contain videos of many of his stops around the world, all captured by NORAD\’s Santa Cam network.
Check out the related articles below for our coverage of Santa tracking from years past. If you go to NORAD\’s site, you can see a live countdown leading up to Santa\’s flight.
