Santa’s journey differs on Google, Microsoft trackers
By Craig Timberg and Hayley Tsukayama, Updated: Monday, December 24, 12:29 PM
Tech-savvy girls and boys, of both the naughty and nice variety, had two ways to track Santa Claus online as he began his epic journey across the globe Christmas Eve. But perhaps they shouldn’t look too closely as the two Santa trackers — sponsored by arch-rivals Microsoft and Google — offered strikingly different data points on the progress of St. Nick.

By mid-afternoon in the Washington area, the Microsoft-sponsored NORAD’s Santa Tracker Web site had Rudolph and his reindeer friends pulling the sleigh over Romania. The Google-sponsored Santa Dashboard, meanwhile, had them over Madagascar.
Santa is LOST?!?!?!?!?!?!? :cryin :cryin

OMG! They just couldn't leave well enough alone. That's too funny.

I think it's obvious. Their systems aren't as sophisticated and accurate as NORAD's. NORAD should make an API or something (allows third parties to access data).

They're both wrong. I won't reveal details but trust me when I say Saint Nick takes appropriate countermeasures.

Yeah, but I think that Microsoft is using the NORAD API.
