CitizenM Launches Social Network Thing for Moody People

Lately, we've been pondering the utility, acceptance and sketch-potential of social networks within hotels. It's not necessarily hotels' Facebook or MySpace pages we're concerned with here (although some hotels are doing good stuff with those things, and hooray for them!).
We mean hotels who set up their own networks -- sort of like the Pod Hotel's Pod Community Blog -- where people who are staying in a particular hotel at a given time can communicate with each other and find other same-time guests to meet up with, hang out with, or "et cetera" with. Will people buy into the concept? Will it turn out to be a sketchy Craiglist-esque collection of people advertising for casual anonymous "encounters?"
Well, we're still wondering. But CitizenM in Amsterdam has launched a kind of social network on their website; something new that may prove to be the guinea pig to watch for our answer.
