New Habbo Managing Director (Phil Guest from AOL)

[Jordy]

How is Habbo ANYTHING like Piczo, Bebo and MySpace?

Surprised no one has realised yet. Piczo, Bebo, Myspace and Habbo are all interactive sites for teenagers to connect. So they're all battling for the teenage internet web market. Myspace is for adults too though.

Great news +rep

Should be intresting, does this kind of put ukchaseral out of a job? Since guest focus's with marketing and advertising lots too which is Al's job? Perhaps he's leaving.

Edit: i just read it again. And he's "managing director" which is a more important and powerful position than lost_witness (Site Producer/Manager). L_w was the most important in the office I guess, but now he is.

"Phil Guest will be responsible for all aspects of Habbo in the UK" (The Guardian)

Edit 2: "Phil joined Sulake in February this year as country manager for Habbo UK." (Telco) Ahh that's who he is, the new country manager which Becs was on about a fortnight ago He wasn't a secret from us, but the media as well!

Lol that's funny the AOL and Habbo Offices are literally a couple of doors away from eachother rofl. And NYAH! Does that mean this guy is a celebrity or something? or a millionaire? I can see it now "OMGS CN I HAVE FREE CREDITZ COZ U R MILLINARE" The nightmares I'll have from that are undescribable.

Oh and they're trying to make Habbo Homes into a Teenage Network like Myspace and Piczo right now so generally it's okay to compare the two in statitory terms. Sorry if Ive used big words in here. lol.

At the moment it's almost impossible to compare and contrast the two.

Same target audience, as little as MySpace wants to admit it - teens.

L_W was never most important, Smash was country manager before.

Nice find 2hd.

I hate MySpace. So if Habbo becomes like MySpace... I'll hate Habbo. :rolleyes:

Habbo was so much better back in the old days.

SMASH left a few months ago though

Also habbo doesn't compete with piczo, bebo and myspace because of Habbo Home's. Like reviewdude said, it's because they all have the same target audience - Teenagers

GOOD FIND!!!!!!!!!!! WOOO AOL IS SO RUBBISH I USE TO USE IT IN 1999! PMSL!

Thankfully. :rolleyes: Those are two of the most annoying, pointless sites on the whole of the Internet. *Shudders*

Heh, Sulake likes reeling in the pro's. And as long as his Habbo remains anonymous, his console will not have permanent exclamation marks...

They're not pointless - you can stay in contact with people, get music and other stuff.

Welcome to him, I suppose.
