Wanna TalkToSanta™?

Well, who doesn't? Santa is one of life’s certainties. There is no confusion about his gender, his ethnicity, or the fact that he’s heterosexual and always has a white beard. We cannot debate whether he wears a red suit or not. We all know he’s jolly with red cheeks and flies around in a sleigh pulled through the skies by reindeer…and one of them has a red nose. This is well known. No one should mess with this. So, wouldn’t you want to have a conversation with him without sitting on his lap? You will, this fall!

Imagine calling a phone number and a cute little Elf answers and says “hello, who’s calling?” You say “it’s Bob, is Santa there?” The Elf says “hi Bob, sure, Santa’s here. But first, where are you from?” Whoa!!! A talking Elf and I’m having a conversation with this talking Elf? What’s next?


This is very cool. In fact it’s a mash-up of advanced automated speech recognition software and other cool technologies integrated by TALKTIVA Voice Entertainment Network. They have invented a new conversational voice interface that will enable consumers to have conversations with personalities. They are starting with Santa…so stay tuned.

In about a month, I’ll post a phone number so you can try it. So, leave a comment with your email address and you can beta test it…very cute and a great gift idea for any believer.
