OfficeMax and JibJabMedia, Inc. have teamed up again this year to bring you ElfYourself.com, “the most popular viral experience in web history.” ElfYourself.com allows people around the world to create free personalized holiday eCards by uploading their photos and transforming themselves, family and friends into dancing elves.
This year, however, there are lots of new toys to play with under the ElfYourself tree. The site’s 4.0 version features a number of upgrades that enhance the user-experience, including:
- Users can star in two new dances including “Hip Hop Elves” featuring modern break dancing and “Singing Elves” that perform a melody of holiday music.
- Facebook Connect capabilities enable users to access their photos from directly within the ElfYourself experience and transform them into elves.
- Personalized videos can be posted directly to a user’s Facebook wall or to a specific friend’s wall.
- Users can now share their ElfYourself videos via Twitter from within the web experience.
- Videos will include any combination of up to five elves.
You can certainly head right on over to ElfYourself.com and get started, but we’d like to recommend that you check out the JibJab blog first. It features a helpful ElfYourself tutorial, as well as posts about celebrities, like Ashton and Demi, who’ve already uploaded their videos.
