I find that I enjoy social media less and less. At first, I thought it was an excellent way to keep up with family in other states, so I maintained a Facebook account particularly after my son was born. Now, I don't think that I've actually checked it in over 6 months.
I have a linked in account. I go on that one at least once a month, but I don't update it that often. I enjoy seeing my peers and cohorts succeeding there, and it's a great way to keep in touch with them that's a bit more focused.
If I'm being honest, the most enjoyment that I get from social media revolves around my education and future career. I attended a great science meeting last semester that I found on LinkedIn. It had some Amazing GIS projects. I also really enjoy professional groups on social media. I've joined some groups for women in GIS. I love hearing their different experiences depending on their positions and experience. It's been very helpful.
