It was almost Christmas time and all was bright
As Santa sat by the firelight.
He sat in Santa HQ, preparing with cheer,
wondering, “What could I do different this year?”
He heard a tap on glass and a faint hoot
Saw an owl with a scroll about as big as his boot
“Come inside, little one!” Santa jollily boomed
Unrolling a scroll the length of the room.
“What do we have here!” He cried, chuckling some
“What? Facebook can be really dumb!
Who is this from, Metter Media in Cambridge, MA?
A social media wishlist, they say.”
Then Santa’s eyes did sparkle bright
He looked out into the dark night
And vowed to make each wish come true
If Facebook can’t fix it, Santa can do!

As followers of the account, the Metter Media team wanted to get inside the head of the person behind the adorable Instagram pictures.

Social media technology is constantly being developed and used in different ways to capitalize upon its benefits, for both brands and individuals. It’s a perk for both parties (companies have new ways of reaching customers, and as personal users we get a whole new range of apps and features) and the developments help emphasize the whole reason we’re on social media to begin with – community.
This week, Instagram users are able to find your photos more easily thanks to a new crop of third-party search engines, two Romanian widows helped cure people’s loneliness via Facebook, and today, Snapchat explores Boston through the eyes of those who live here.
