I shall accept your wisdom here Paul as someone who has several blogs far better visited than mine – and in that I make no judgement nor place any expectation.

I've held off unfollowing the loud talkers but I may just follow your suggest and drop them – or at least put them in a list I can pick and dip.

There are always going to be those who use Twitter as a broadcast marketing tool rather than a relationship building tool, but I think there are some things to increase the number of people who use Twitter as the latter like blog about it, tweet like we want to be tweeted, and unfollow those who use twitter as a broadcast marketing tool.

Paul you are likely right that most do it from a selfish perspective. My struggle is in the understanding how I can be better and "hope" that others follow my lead :)

Or is that too pie in the sky an ideal?

Stuart, I think with any form of networking there will be those who don't really get it and just networking in a selfish fashion to promote themselves and their intersts. A lot of people/companies do that with Twitter. A lot of other people probably have good intentions, but then find they don't have time to really interact with hundreds of Twitter followers.

I've seen a lot of posts like 10 Golden Rules of Social Media, that tell you how to do Twitter in a ideal manner, but not many that explain how to do that with hundreds or thousands of people in way that doesn't overwhelm a peson's life.
