I'm one of those people, I rarely tweet. If I do it's usually aimed at one of my few followers (I think I have about 20) that are friends in my field.
Otherwise, I follow people that have more interesting things to say. It's how I know what's going on in the development world. I barely follow anyone outside of my field.
Although, funny thing happened once. I commented on someone's tweet pointing out a bit of hypocrisy and his defense was I didn't have enough followers to warrant being able to say anything in the first place. Apparently I'm in a popularity contest I didn't know I was in.
If you are tweeting and hoping someone to pay attention and no one is, I could understand the frustration.
I'm thinking of getting back into the habit of doing a tech blog that's more for me to keep tracks of the interesting tidbits of information and code I come up with doing my job. I guess that's a similar deal to your idea of tweeting as a diary.
