"Habbo Hotel owner Sulake has acquired a Finnish social network with the aim of taking it international.  \nIRC-Galleria is Finland's largest social network, with localized versions in Russia, Estonia, Lithuania and Germany - the site serves 2.2 billion monthly page impressions to its 850,000 users, 415,000 of whom are considered \"active\".  The target market is slightly older that the Habbo demo (average age: 19.5), which could make it a next stage for those kids who outgrow the virtual world.  Fortunately, the poorly named site will also get a rebrand.\nThere's no word on whether the US is one of the countries targeted for expansion, and that would likely be a tough market to crack.  Nonetheless, it's interesting to note that Sulake is trying some more conventional social networking."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
