Google Loses Santa To Bing · Slashdot Mirror

New submitter Sebolains writes "Unlike previous years, NORAD (the North American Aerospace Defense Command) has decided to use Bing maps to track Santa's journey as he goes around the world delivering presents. Starting Christmas eve, one will be able to go to the official NORAD Santa tracking site and use Bing maps to see where Santa is delivering presents at that time. In previous years, NORAD has always gone for Google maps to track Saint Nick. The reason for this switch were not disclosed, but since nearly 25 million people are expected to use this tool come this Christmas, this will definitely benefit Bing in the ongoing competition for online map applications."

No surprise a saint does not want Google involved by SuperKendall · 2012-12-13 08:28 · Score: -1, Troll

What with the Google Maps iOS app claiming Baptists are some kind of cult demon worshippers, I wouldn't want Google tracking me either were I St Nick.
