Just because you can use incredibly large text (with an incredibly large header that covers the text even on a 1080p monitor!) and scroll-detect animations doesn't mean you should.

Regardless, from a business perspective, this seems like a very good way to annoy your customers instead of engaging them.

Creepy to have someone tweet me when I didn't give you my twitter. Creepier when a mistake is made. Might want to convert mails to twitters for inside analytics or spotting influential users though, but dislike providing extra services with mail addresses of my users. Creepy.

I agree, the idea isn't bad but the Powerpoint style js animation effects are really distracting to the text and purpose. Get rid of those, and the huge text, and you'll do yourself a favour.
