Social media addicts get hotel points when they jones for recognition
Does check-in mean more to you than a pretty girl at the front desk, fumbling with your credit card and a humble request for an upgrade? If this expression instead reminds you that you've been the uncontested mayor of your tiny cubicle for the past seven and a half months – and you like to travel – Topguest.com has you in mind. This new social media service seeks to score hotel points for you based on foursquare, Gowalla, Loopt and a handful of other networks. So far, Standard Hotels is previewing Topguest. According to CNET:
Okay, so the perks are a little thin right now. But, if Standard can wrangle the addicts, look for the other hotels to get on board.Right now, there are two rewards in place: check in to all four Standard hotels in the course of a week (which involves being in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami) and earn a complimentary week's stay at any one of them), or check in to Standard establishments ten times and receive a 25 percent reservation discount.
