Mytopia Adds Support to Hi5 for Game-based Virtual World

Mytopia, a social gaming-based virtual world, has added support to the social network Hi5 in addition to the support it offered for Facebook, Myspace, Bebo and various widget sites  when it launched last week.  “Bringing Mytopia to hi5 users is part of our mission to help the world play together – from any social network, any widget, any online entry point,”  Guy Ben-Artzi, founder and chief executive officer of Mytopia, said in a statement. “Today, online social networks are isolated from one another. Members of different communities really can’t socialize with each other freely. Mytopia and others in the games industry are changing that. We’re building bridges, uniting these islands of isolation to form a larger, converged community that welcomes Internet users from every corner of the modern web.”
