I am under the impression that he was being targetted as a potentially compensated public "reviewer", and possibly reseller. Nobody in their right mind will cold call a web socialite with a live twitter feed with product sales calls. It was a B2B call IMHO, reread it under that light. Even the author himself could be misunderstanding the intent, btw. To give you an anology, someone pitching their photo sharing startup to a potential investor will have to begin his introduction the same way he would when talking to a potential end-user: "it the world's fastest growing photo sharing site. Upload your photos and viola .." but the intent is different. The author pretty much shut the door on the sales guy without hearing him out further.
