I tend to go into a "hermit" mode where I don't go to social events for long periods of time and I use Facebook to assure people I'm still alive by posting a rant or two, or sharing a link that might cheer up a friend. I also use it to keep tabs on other friends like this, who might suffer from some sort of social anxiety or depression, and live too far away for me to randomly drop in on.

I don't use Twitter.

I use Reddit to see what people are talking about in any one particular theme. I'm a bit guilty of using it like my morning paper, to see what events went on that I hadn't heard of.
