I've been harassed on Instagram by people asking me to update an open source project I let go of five years ago. While it may seem neat and flattering, the reality is that it's incredibly disturbing.
I think awesome depends on the sensibilities of the person being stalked, and the sweetness of the opportunity. I concur that the creep factor likely trumps the awesome factor. Still, if a recruiter popped out of my closet with a million dollar opportunity, there's nothing to say that I can't take the opportunity, and then call the cops.
