The site, in 2006
OfficeMax's holiday website where visitors pasted photos of their own or their friends' faces onto dancing elves and shared the finished clip.
Made by the agencies Toy and Evolution Bureau, it launched in December 2006 and drew 200 hits a second with a single elf. It has returned each Christmas, and more than two billion elves have been made.
In 2006: Opened in early December with one dancing elf, played by Danielle Bárcena.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
