That isn't anywhere close to what Stack Overflow is doing.

This isn't selling user details from Stack Overflow (for which all the data is available for download, by the way: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/06/stack-overflow-creativ...).

It's a separate service, the users of which have to pay to get listed. I'd say that indicates a pretty strong willingness to be contacted by employers.
