Be Santa on Facebook this Christmas

Be Santa is a new facebook app that was just launched on facebook. This fun application allows you to send virtual gifts to your friends, write a letter to Santa, or actually send real gifts. This facebook app is from the Guys over at Dank Apps (they recently received funding From Bay Partners under the FB App program), who also recently launched The Lotto. I was speaking with their CEO Jason Beckerman on Thanksgiving day as he gave me a peek at the Be Santa Facebook application before it was public.
This facebook application lets you be Santa and fulfill your friends wish list to Santa. I really like this application. It melds the “free virtual gift” mentality of facebook users with the practical real world application of letting people know what real world gifts that you want with an easy way to purchase the item on Amazon.
This is a great way for you to let your friends and family know what gifts that you want for Christmas. It is integrated with Amazon and you can easily search for anything that you might want to ask Santa to give you for Christmas. Your friends can quickly click on the link and easily purchase right from amazon the gift that you want. I like it as an cool way to give people a heads up for gift ideas. I was just discussing with my wife a month ago that there should be an application like this so that i could know what to buy my nieces and nephews for Christmas.
You can easily see what gifts your friends are asking Santa for Christmas. Here is the best part… They are actually going to be giving away $2500.00 worth of real world gifts to people on Christmas day. Just check into the Be Santa app on Christmas day and see if you got a real gift from the Be Santa Application on facebook.

Looks awesome, cant wait to send all my friends plasma tvs
Dank Apps didn’t receive an fbFund grant, they received a traditional VC investment through Bay Partners’ AppFactory program. As far as I know, they still haven’t awarded the first fbFund grant.
Nate,
You are correct regarding their funding with Bay Partners (250K). My mistake, thanks for pointing that out. Corrected in blog post.
