Outlook is an application, not a web connected service, though. If I enter my email address when signing up for, say, Office Live, I'd expect to see a Microsoft email in my inbox every now and then.

Would you expect Google to send emails to people whose addresses have been entered into Gmail?
No, but that's not what happened here. You filled out your personal card which will be shared out with everyone you "bump" with. I haven't used the app, but I'd assume this fills some kind of registration function.
Bump emailed the guy that used their service. Your stretching the analogy a bit much.
