Habbo Hotel vs MSN

I decided to sign up for the Habbo Hotel 3d chat room and compare and contrast it to the ever famous MSN messenger. I found that personalising the character on habbo positively contributed to my characteristics, which people can see when talking and interacting with me in. The 3D environment definatly promotes a better/more personel environment. This is becuase you are actually speaking to someone, character face to face in an internet world. The movements and application you can use in the hotel also demonstrate a superiorioty over Msn messenger. In the online Habbo Hotel i was under the alias of Lusta Ruster. My real name is Harrison Moncrieff, i wanted a diverse and wierd name so the people i speak to online couldnt tract me down using the like of Facebook and Myspace search.

I use msn alot and the people on my contact list are the people i know personally. The friends i have made on Habbo hotel i am not personel friends with and this is evident when i speak to them about certain topics. For instance i wouldnt give details about my locations for the weekend to people on habbo hotel, but i would for friends on Msn. There is alot of socialising on Habbo Hotel that differs many people use Habbo to make new friends and partners in real life.

i belive the 3d aspect makes it easier to understand who you are talking to rather than someone on the other end of a chatt box. Habbo Hotel does allow for individualisation and characteristics, which helps when speaking to a stranger. Overall i believe Habbo Hotel is a great way to meet new people, though Msn is still safer becuase of your specific friends list.
