An Interactive Mobile Adventure with a Virtual Santa App
The sun’s coming out and the days are getting warmer…
Time to think about Christmas 2011.
The team @ MySantaTalk are busy planning an enhanced version of MySantaTalk to feature new layers of interactivity and storytelling for 2011.
As well, we’re testing out new delivery channels for mobile, including ANDROID, NOOK, MEEGO and Intel’s APPup for Windows Mobile and Tablets. We want MYSANTATALK to be available EVERYWHERE.

Here’s a terrific picture of a local retailer’s promotion of MySantaTalk, using the shortcode and keyword option. This year, MySantaTalk is offered to businesses at no cost for their own Holiday tie-ins. We appreciate getting the pictures of how you’re using this in your town.
This seems to be the year of digital Santas. Many of whom offer some level of “personalization.” My Santa Talk does this as well.
While we believe that most companies who are creating digital Santas are reputable, we do live in the day and age of hackers and other nefarious creatures. So, before opting-in and providing ANY personal information, please think about a few things.
First, MY SANTA TALK is 100% anonymous. Being on mobile web means (a) we do not have your phone number; (b) we don’t have an IP address, (c) we don’t know your name or have access to any personal data on your device, (d) we don’t have your eMail address or any other sensitive data.
The digital Santas that require users to fill out a form and eMail a submission? Or, digital Santas that are “app” based or respond to phone numbers all start having access to sensitive personal information. Again, the companies who are creating these are likely to be reputable, but, you may be providing a fair bit of personal information, including information about your children.
Creating a “personalized” experience that’s anonymous was not easy. But, we think it was worth the effort. Mobile or online, let’s be careful out there, OK?
