Hence I wrote on the "BRING ARTICLES BACK. NO MORE TWITTER CRAP" uservoice idea:



Paul has tried so hard to "break down barriers" through using social media, that it's left the large majorty of people to be isolated. Perhaps he doesn't realise the extent of the userbase. It's also beyond me why they're trying to be a social media site..... by using other social media. WAT.

They sort of still do articles but they are blog posts which would explain certain things to users on what Habbo is doing which is at: http://blog.habbo.com. I don't think it's wrong for Habbo to use other social media services because Habbo isn't a social media site that would bring attention to users on multiple devices, where as twitter and facebook would.

So why do they need an external site to publish what's happening? They could quite easily shove them on Habbo.com for everyone to see. :P PaulLaFo gives out pieces of information on his Twitter, previews are sent to fansites and Facebook - it just isn't user-friendly anymore. There's too much going on.

The same reason why other companies do the same thing. They could technically still use their site and also use the social media side of things to make the user base of Habbo aware.

If they made use of their own site then that's fair enough, but they're not. They're shoving feeds everywhere and it looks tacky!

Could do, I wouldn't call it tacky but I guess it would be an issue for certain users. The Habbo site in my opinion needs a new layout and update - Would be nice if they did that in time for their new in-game interface but I doubt that.

I don't think there is any anymore. I agree with you Mathew. He bangs on about engaging but by choosing twitter to do so, he has just cut of the majority of the user base from having any input. I don't really want to be going onto an external site to be getting my news. If I didn't use habbox, I wouldn't have a clue what was going on.

That's the same with me. The homepage has changed so there's just five images and five little captions advertising something - it's not good at all. I don't want to speak to the CEO of Sulake, I just want him to tell me what's going on. An article published to the Habbo site (just like the good old days :rolleyes:) would be perfect! :D

Paul is the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) off sulake i.e he owns sulake

CEO doesn't own it.

Shareholders > board of directors > CEO typically.

its ok guys ive just sent my cv to sulake

you'd have thought staff would still interact with habbos, and we'd actually have some competitions or something
