So, you've heard of this magical(-ish) thing called Karaoke Secret Santa, seen this link shared on Facebook timelines, maybe twitter feeds and would like to join?
What do you do?
Step 1 of KSS2012 is Elfster.
Karaoke Secret Santa uses Elfster to create gift exchange events where participants can be paired with other participants. This is how you know who you're making your special Karaoke Secret Santa video for!
It is also how you know what you're making: By using Elfster's Wishlists feature, participants can list or link their musical wishes. As a "secret santa", you look at your match's wishlist and choose a song that is appropriate.
If you're interested in joining Karaoke Secret Santa:
1. Click the link - It's safe, don't worry. It's a link to the Karaoke Secret Santa 2012 gift exchange. If you're not already logged in or a participant, you'll see something like this:
"Will you participate?" - Yes or no?
"Have you been:" - Naughty, Nice or Both. (I think this is supposed to be a "fun" question. It's basically irrelevant, but I still answer).
"Add a comment" - The comment you add here will be posted on the gift exchange feed (like Facebook's Timeline or News Feed).
"Notify me when people apply" - Clicking this box will do just what it says; it's a good way to see who's joining after you.
RSVP Button - Click this once you're ready.
*Take note of the Sign-up Deadline, which is December 10, 2012, and the Gift Exchange Date, which is December 25, 2012 (you'll use your match's time as reference; some should be getting theirs sooner than others around the world).
Find out what you do next "after the jump"
2. Join Elfster, Login OR Facebook Login - By clicking the RSVP button, you'll end up on this screen:
You are given two options:
"Join Elfster"
"Login"
(*You'll also see why Elfster is so good: "Secret Gift Exchange" and "Wishlist HQ".)
If you click Join Elfster, you'll see this:
Just hit your details (check the box for those emails if you want or not) and click the Join Button. Of course, there is a fLogin Button, or Facebook Login Button. You can use Facebook to log into Elfster, but I haven't done so. Double-check Facebook to see if the app's settings will cross-post between Elfster and Facebook.
If you click Login, you'll see this screen:
You might have already joined Elfster for a previous KSS or a previous gift exchange. Just hit your login details. Notice that the Facebook Login Button is also available here. You can also create an account from here, as well.
Once logged in, you'll be redirected to the 2012 Karaoke Secret Santa gift exchange page, where you'll see your invitation acceptance in the feed:
The gift exchange page will work like a timeline or news feed: It will show the activity of participants. This will include liking other people's activity (as Pam did above), wishing for your song choices and other posts/comments:
That's pretty much what you need to know (for now) to join Karaoke Secret Santa on Elfster. Please share any questions, comments or suggestions.
Thanks!
