Website syndication provider Conduit and virtual world Habbo have released the Conduit-powered Habbo community toolbar, a new browser tool for delivering community features to Habbo's users.

Built on the Conduit Website Syndication Platform, the toolbar enables Habbo users to see their friends, messages, and community news from anywhere online. The customizable tool also accomomodates a variety of applications for accessing chat, forums, feeds, and My Habbo homepages.

Teemu Huuhtanen, Habbo EVP of business and president, North America, said, "Habbo's teens are invested in our virtual world --they interact, play games and develop self-expression here, but they also want to know what is happening when they are not in their Habbo community. Thanks to Conduit's technology, the Habbo community toolbar allows Habbos to stay connected in many ways. The functionality lets members see their friends, messages and Habbo news from anywhere online: It's a constant reminder of the community that's waiting for them, and therefore encourages them to keep coming back."

Conduit CEO Ronen Shilo commented: "Habbo knows that their members want to be active in their virtual lives every day and so they have made it even easier for them to get there. The secret for capturing the attention of the discerning and tech-savvy audience? Delivering personalized content, services, and cool technologies in one, convenient location that suits their Internet lifestyles."
