It is really a double-edged sword, definitely depends on how you use it.
I honestly use Facebook to keep up with friends I don't get to see normally, and for sharing links with people. I post a minimum amount of personal information, aside from pictures.
Twitter is basically my "follow interesting people/people who post interesting links" device, so I don't post anything there.
So really for me its a source of information, if someone tried to gather information on me they might get basics and learn my interests but nothing really intrusive.
I usually check them a couple times daily, but only on my computer, so it isn't very pervasive in my life and I don't obsess over it.
I've seen others who I think utilize social media too much, people who have to post repeatedly each day, etc. but for me its a tool to keep in touch with people I might not text/call that often, but are still good friends with.
