not a lot of help if you're a *nix user tho. - zone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0screenshot plz?
- ggriffit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Cool...my mom loves this kind of stuff (gps and satalite stuff...santa is less exciting to a 47 year old woman)
- treelovinhippie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder when he starts moving though?
I guess it's designed for the US? ... cos it's 8:30pm on the 24th here in Australia and he's still sitting up in the north pole :D - 3rdmiddlefinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder what happens when you email the email address they provide?
claus@gmail.com - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Tracking will start at 2pm GMT (via the info box inside Google Earth)
- Korniko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I emailed Santa and got this:
--------------------------
A few minutes ago Santa went out into the cold Arctic winter to finish
loading the sleigh and warming up the reindeer.
He gets in quite a rush visiting everyone's house. If you see him
please tell him to be safe because a team of elves and his wife are
waiting for his return.
Merry Christmas!
Mrs. Claus
PS
The elves and I are tracking him in Google Earth at

It says: "We are predicting that Santa will start his delivery run at 2 pm GMT on Christmas eve."

+DIGG - ihybridora, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hey, did anybody look at the logo. i am enjoying it. It looks like the mouse and cat are trying to light christmas lights but can't ( http://www.google.com/doodle10.html )
- Zeush8su, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't believe in Santa but this is pretty cool.
- tolkien28, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I hate Santa, but I digg this anyway.
- BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How can we track Santa?
He goes like, A BAJILLION MILES PER HOUR!!!! - Trepan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is great to show to your kids to get them excited.
set up the PC in the living room and they can check the status of Santa all night long and get even more excited :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damn Americanisms.
Google decided to start this at 1400 GMT. If that schedule makes your Aussie heart weep feel free to create your own. - brucebeh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0haha this is pretty cool..
@hybridora:

I'll stick with the original at http://www.noradsanta.org - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is kinda pointless, but cool anyways
- WyldWaitress, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0NORAD has been tracking Santa for decades. The Google Earth thing strikes me as a copycat.
