Now before all the fangirls get too excited, I should clarify: the already existing teen social networking site Habbo has made a deal with Summit Entertainment to create “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” related content to go along with the film’s release. As it stands, Habbo is a virtual world in which over 142 million avatars from 31 countries meet to interact. Find out exactly what Summit plans to add to the mix after the jump.

According to Variety, Habbo will be adding “Twilight” themed activities, items, and polls to their current existing content in what Summit is proud to announce is their first partnership with a virtual world. On the flip side, Habbo is no stranger to cross-promotion, having struck a very similar deal with FreemantleMedia Enterprises, the folks responsible for branding “American Idol,” in the past.

Though this seems like a great thing for both companies–Habbo increases its membership and Summit converts current Habbo-ers into fang-girls–I can’t help but wonder if the site will become just another forum for “Twilight” fanatics to unload their rabid devotion. Won’t the website just turn into another outlet for the current surplus of fanfiction and sequel speculation? I guess we’ll all find out this fall (And be “we’ll all,” I mean the people who actually use that site will).

    Vampire stories are supposed to be textured in rich dark velvety tones and at least a minimal nod to the gothic antiquity of the bloodlines roots. Recreating this feeling in the lego-people environment of Habbo is FAIL.

    The Avatars of Habbo are about as visually interesting and “dark” as a Precious Moments figurine. Even young children know the difference between this “Lego-Land” and the high quality digital characters (Avatars) of their favorite video games. By the time they are old enough to appreciate the Twilight story, their aesthetic tastes are 15 years beyond the primitive early 80′s video game like interface of Habbo.

    If you’re over 18 and want to hang out with some “real” vampires avatars, you need to check out Second Life (www.secondlife.com). Here you will find the richly-textured vampire world you love. Be a vampire, choose your appearance, clothing and even wings. Entertain, dance, socialize and “hunt,” and even fly with others of your bloodline. You can even make your avatar look like your favorite Twilight character or buy/build recreations of where they live!

    The bottom line is: http://www.secondlife.com is the place for “real” vampire / Twilight fun. Habbo simply “sucks!”
