Santa is definitely keeping up with the trends as kids get more and more tech-savvy.

Between world travel updates being posted on Twitter and text messages being sent to cell phones, kids have plenty of options to stay in touch with the jolly fellow besides the traditional letter-writing.

According to a new Harris survey commissioned by Yahoo!, 65 percent of the U.S. adults surveyed say if they were to send a message to Santa they would do so via e-mail. The survey also shows that 67 percent think Santa would be a "PC"user when asked what type of computer he uses.

Here are some ways Santa is keeping up with today's trends:

Kids around the world can track Santa's journey on Christmas Eve live and watch his live updates on Noradsanta.org.

Children can also call a toll-free number to speak personally to a Santa tracker on Christmas Eve. That number is 1-877-Hi-NORAD. Kids can also send e-mails to noradtrackssanta@gmail.com.
