Agreed, nobody forces you but it's use is increasingly creeping into everything else. News stories often have "tweets" of opinion, special offer deals and competitions from companies are increasingly only on Facebook. News releases by companies often come from twitter and Facebook. Websites although not exclusively yet increasingly ask you to log in via twitter or Facebook. Personally I'll stay off them for ever, used Facebook for a while when it started, tried twitter a couple of times though ultimately realised social media is an echo chamber for idiots where opinion becomes fact regardless of it's accuracy.
