I agree, alot of new startups are working on using similar social media 'whoring' as you put it. It seems to be a great way to generate a bit of buzz. Connect.me used a similar technique and had thousands of registrations with in hours and a new startup for startups called Launchrock.com is essentially a holding page application designed for this exact role.
I see an opportunity for a lifestyle business focused on providing start-ups with teaser sites like this that are tied in with social media bots and so-forth to efficiently exploit bleeding-edgers.
