It breaks my heart to see how social media is being commandeered and abused by people who just want to use it as a broadcast medium. Since Twitter has gone mainstream, more people have chosen to use it ignoring how powerful it can be for personal relationships and conversation, and only sending broadcast, spammy messages which we don't want to hear. I think people will always take advantage because they see it as the quick and easy 'get rich quick' solution. It takes a lot of work to establish a relationship. It takes very little to fire out an unwanted message to thousands and thousands of people. Great post.

I think the answer depends largely upon the outcome of the ongoing struggle between online privacy, and online reputation. The web is becoming almost unavoidably social - if things keep going the way they're going, every bit of info you contribute, whether it's a comment, tweet, review, etc. will be traceable back to you personally. (I have mixed feelings about this) With your reputation increasingly becoming the coin of the realm online (just look at the level of influence Digg's top posters have, for example), those who gain the reputation of pushing spammy content will be treated like lepers - excluded and shut out of the most fertile congregations, before they even have the opportunity to peddle their unwanted information. Unless, of course, privacy wins out, and online anonymity is preserved, in which case, people will continue to take advantage, and intrude in our lives with unwelcome messaging.
