To say I use Twitter and not Facebook isn't quite right. I still use both, to some degree, but only in the limited capacity of what I trust them to do.

I still log in to Facebook occasionally to check people's status updates, frustrating though they may be. I try not to expose any more information to Facebook than necessary, but I do try to make it so people can find me on there if they try really, really hard. It's also the case that some people I interact with choose only to interact via Facebook. Completely abandoning Facebook at this point would mean potentially abandoning a set of contacts that I've spent years collecting.

Twitter is along the same lines, though much simpler, maybe a little more utilitarian. They may have a better track record with data, but that doesn't mean I'm going to put much of my information up there. Again, people can find me if they try really, really hard. And all Twitter hears/heard from me is inane updates about Star Trek.

I haven't really decided on the usefulness of Google+ yet. I appreciate its data handling, but it's still a lot of information that Google could easily make available if they made a mistake, or didn't care to protect my data. I also dislike that they automatically associated my Picasa account with my Google+ account. Granted, the information is technically public, but I didn't want it that easy to get to.
