News @ Live

Sounds a hell of alot like the ClubHabbo Newsbeat to me.

I can't say I've ever listened to ClubHabbo Radio, but I'm glad we didn't have the audacity to name our project letter for letter after Radio 1's flagship news service. I believe it shows very little imagination :eusa_whis

Of course, if another site introduces a feature which turns out to be successful, we are going to look into it, it's in the best interests of our users. In this case, I'm told that ClubHabbo failed to make it successful, so rather than labelling us copycats, I prefer to think we're pioneering and brave

If I'm honest, I'm not too keen on the name. I think "News on Live" sounds a little more like it. By the looks of it, you've tried to do a pun on "News at Five" which is... interesting to say the least

Apart from that, I think its a great idea and I hope it comes off!

[flatface]

It sounds good, we will soon find out if it lives up to expectations!

[Mrs.McCall]

Yeah I certainly have high hopes for it.

Hopefully it gets well advertised.

@Alex - I quite like that name!

[Finkelstien]

I have never heard of News at Five, so that definitely was not the intention at the time. Also, I thought of the name as it's both the Habbox News and Habbox Live radio services being merged into one.

Thanks for the fantastic feedback everyone. It's greatly appreciated .

[Shawnstra]

Would be interesting, do it!

[Pyroka]

I was thinking the same thing about the name, lol how amusing.

[Aflux]

I think it should be called Habbox Newsbeat.

Yeah I thought it was a bit tenuous when I typed it but it was the only logical reasoning i could think of for the name. For the record, there isn't a news at five

What about Five News with Natasha Kaplinsky?

No, it's certainly not a pun on anything like that, as Finkelstien thought up the name, and as he sais, he's never heard of News at Five. I must say, to start with I was a bit dubious about the name, but now it's grown on me and I really like it.

Great to see such a positive reaction so early on, we're hoping that with the News Department expanding beyond the traditional written reports for the first time in our history, we'll be able to reach a much larger audience, many of whom would never really read our reports.

Roll on Monday
