Through Facebook Connect, Habbo's 15 million monthly visitors worldwide will now be able to find their Facebook friends in Habbo Hotel in real time. Users will be able to share their experiences, such as checking into the Habbo Hotel, building rooms, training pets and sending gifts.

Facebook users can sign up to Habbo through the Habbo Hotel Facebook application, with no need to register. They will have instant access to the virtual world to name, dress and style their avatar and chat with friends.

Both new and previous visitors to the virtual world will be able to connect with Facebook friends, as they will automatically show up on their Habbo friend list.

All 31 of Habbo Hotel's international communities will be connected to Facebook. Habbo users currently spend an average of 43 minutes per visit according to the company, but with the addition of Facebook friend feeds, this is expected to rise.

Through the new partnership, Habbo advertisers' campaigns will extend into the Facebook communities of their target audience.

Habbo Hotel now aims to connect with MySpace, Yahoo! and Google.
