According to the article, the person in question was applying for a technical recruiter role. Given that the biggest problem tech recruiters at startups face is arguably getting top-level engineering talent to give them the time of day, I'd say that a stunt involving getting a lot of talented engineers to talk about how much they like and respect you is completely justified and appropriate.

Regardless, I still think it's a poor practice, given that -- like rwallace said -- if everyone did it, it would just create even more emails that the OP needed to add to their laundry list.
