HabboHub is coming!
http://habbohub.com/images/logo-splash1.gif

HabboHub is under development at the moment, but we want to make sure we are ready to open as soon as possible.

HabboHub isn't going to be your typical fansite (we know everyone says that), our aim is to bring back the fansite community throughout Habbo & Habbo fansites.

We love Habbo and even more we love Habbo fansites. They are amazing with imagintive content developed for us all to read and use, its what keeps us playing Habbo. The communities are fun, all the events and prizes, WOW!

We are going to be your #1 stop before you head over to your favourite fansites. HabboHub will provide all you need in one spot:
- Need the latest posts from around your favourite fansites & Habbo?
- Want to see what events are happening and where?
- What about the latest twitter posts from around the fansite world and Habbo its self?
- Radio stats and streams from all your favourite fansites?
- All of the above?
If you said all of the above then HabboHub will be perfect for you and that is just a little section of HabboHub, which will be your Dashboard. With drag and drop widgets available for you to create a unique dashboard.

Profile customisation, want to rearrange your public profile? Hide your details, show an RSS feed, embed a radio, add a comment section? You got it, each user will be able to customise their profile so everyone is unique and the experience will be different when members browse you other members profiles.

So enough with the fansite stuff lets talk about HabboHub what else will HabboHub have for you?

Quick run down.

Members, will be the area to see who is new, who is online etc.
Groups, are communities within HabboHub to invite their friends.
Links, post interesting and cool websites and let users rate them.
Photos, cool photo? Users can rate them too.
Videos, embed videos from around the internet and guess what... users can rate them!
Forum, our forum will be mainly for things that cannot fit anywhere else, we encourage our members to use other fansite & Habbo forums, why? Because we are a Hub of fansites and we want you to visit them, so share the love.
Events, got a cool event coming up or want people to join your room opening? Events is the place to do it.
Blogs, got to get something off your chest? The blog is the place to be.

This is just what we have implemented so far, there will be more!

We miss the good old days when Habbo and its fansites used to be like one big competitive community, we want that back and providing a place to find quick links & information for Habbo & fansites will help fansites and provide new users to these fansites.

I could go on about all the features we have and will have available for you but i think this post has gone on too long already. Check us out and we will be in touch soon on our date of release.

Lazy Link
We are looking for staff!

We know people will think we are just using fansite content without creating our own and being "lazy", but that isn't our intention. We want fansites to be discovered by other users. We want users to see a twitter feed on HabboHub for Habbox and see the event going on and head over. This is a great thing for Habbo users and also fansites, they will gain new users and fans which will join their events, competitions, forums. We wont be directly posting content from fansites we will take feeds and information which will be linked directly to the fansite event, competition, twitter post on the fansite so they can come over and check it out.

The dashboard words appeared to be quite blurry. And oh maybe you would like to change the name, Habbohub into something else. Prevent Habbohut fans to call you a copycat :)

Ye its an IE compliance issue, don't worry, we are currently in the market for a fresh unique design to implement. We just wanted to give you guys a taster of our features and see how the community reacted to it before we continued on with our work. Otherwise whats the point if the community wont use it? HabboHub is different name and is reference to our Hub of information not a hut. This domain has been sat in my domain closet for 3 years its about time we use it. I find it will work perfectly to describe our site.

Yes i was and have been a member and staff on and off for over 7 years at Habbox and the fansite community. Fire over a PM to claim a BETA spot.

Well Habbox says "all your Habbo needs" a lot, this "slogan" is not a final decision, our aim is too work with the community to create a website perfect for all habbo users (and maybe even non habbo players ;) ).

Wow, it looks pretty amazing! A decent fansite - if they do have a fansite re-vote in November, and yours is open, you'll probably 'get in'.

But yeah, looks quite good. Can't wait until it opens!

I am not sure how comfortable I am with you mirroring our content and turning a profit out of it via advertising on your own site.

I am disappointed in you. You know i wouldn't want to, let alone make a profit from a fansite. Why would i want to make a profit? I have had this idea for over 3 years i even pitched it multiple times to you and the GMs over the years. But Habbox wants to stay Habbox which is fine. So i will develop this idea on my lonesome.

Do you not replicated and mirror Habbo information? I think at one point in the forums you RSS the Habbo articles straight to the forum? The internet replicates other information and mirrors it all the time. But this is even different from that. I have clearly stated if you read:

We wont be directly posting content from fansites we will take feeds and information which will be linked directly to the fansite event, competition, twitter post on the fansite so they can come over and check it out.

Remember the good ol' days when fansites competed against one another and Habbo did this for us? Well since then Habbo has slowly dwindled supporting its fansites on a day to day basis. So why not have a site that does that?

We don't take your information create it as our own and profit from it. Our intention is to show a user what is out there get them to experience other fansites send them a url for a post of an event and get them to head on over to that forum/site and read it. Giving you the chance to gain a member, HabboHub if anything is going to make you a profit by potential giving you new members and creating possible leaders through adsense. Yes we will have adsense on there to cover our costs but if any profits occur guess where they will go? Right back into HabboHub for prizes and competitions to create and support a community.

We indent to bring fansites and users together, fansite events and competitions for points & prizes. A community throughout Habbo rather than divided by our segregation of fansites. Lets make it competitive and have fun doing it.

But in all honesly Jin if thats what you truely believe that i am here to turn a profit from Habbox content then i will happily remove every bit of information & all affiliation with Habbox from the site. Just give me the word, i respect Habbox and even you. I have spent many years helping Habbox along the way as many others have. All i wanted was to provide another way for users to discover and interact with Habbox and all Habbo fansites.

I appreciate that you respect our wishes at the moment I still remain neutral to this idea however this is my view of the whole thing.

My thoughts will be swayed by how you decide to showcase our content.

Maybe you could have some system in which users can pick a radio station to tune into from a list of participating fansites? So the user could stay on habbohub while listen to there preferred station, it would also make it easier for user to switch between different stations to find new djs and shows they like from all the different sites.

One step ahead of you, already implemented. With 8 fansite radio stations.
