Same, for privacy and other reasons. One reasons is that other technologies are better in my opinion. While Facebook and Twitter may be great for making those initial contacts, email and rss are better for day to day stuff since those protocols are designed to use client software. The client software is usually more powerful than the web interfaces. Ditto for the various chat protocols, where I have a preference for IRC. (I can say the same thing for usenet vs. web forums, but web forums are so much more active that they are more enjoyable to use than usenet.)
