Santa Likes Web 2.0 Technology

The owners of www.gift.us have launched the new Santa 2.0 web site to lift up the holiday spirit and simply "Make someone happy" this Holiday Season. This virtual  gift-giving web site has been launched just in time for the Holidays.

The Internet becomes easier to use and more correspondent to the users' needs with this Internet technology initiative called Web 2.0., which were the exact goals of the company when they created Santa 2.0.

Probably the closest thing you'll find to actually having Santa show up at your door, this animated, singing Santa greeting card and virtual gift site allows the user to click through a few drop-down lists, enter the card recipient's name, and instantly create a virtual singing Santa greeting card that uses the recipient's name in 'Santa's' own voice. There are 10,000 names pre-programmed into the site according to the company. Santa is also smart enough to say the sender's name when the greeting plays.

Ethan Navy, Creator of www.gift.us, said: "On-line greeting cards have moved from unique to common-place in the last few years. That's why we thought we'd take advantage of the new Web 2.0 technology to kick off a new and improved version that's actually as much fun to create as it is to receive."

Flash-based audio greeting cards will be sent by Santa to a variety of different categories of people including parents, children, spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends, colleagues, long-lost friends, people who you've argued with lately, and the favourite techno geeks in your life. This greeting could even be used by bloggers as a personalized welcome message to their loyal readers.

Once the virtual card is personalized, the sender is also able to choose from a variety of inexpensive virtual gifts
to accompany the greeting card, or they can choose to send just the virtual card for free.

In addition, if you aren't particularly a fan of virtual gifts, a unique e-book gift titled Happiness 101 is also offered by the site. Among the contents of the book is insight into the top recipes for true happiness. Our concept is "Make someone happy. And although the electronic card is a good start, Happiness 101 just may end up being the most valuable gift you'll ever give," said Nunn..

Navy added: "While the theme is Santa 2.0 for now, gifts.us will support other holidays, special days and every-day gift-giving occasions in the weeks to come."

Santa 2.0 was created as a fun and innovative way to thank people for visiting and shopping at www.gift.us - America's premier virtual gift web site serving the world with unique, hard-to-find and one-of-a-kind virtual gifts for family, friends and co-workers.
