Both are just tools I use to keep in touch with people I probably wouldn't otherwise keep in touch with; it also gives me a non-TFP way of getting ahold of TFPers. The latter proved to be incredibly useful when the server died.
I keep my privacy on those sites under strict control; only my friends can see my complete profile. If you search for my name, you will only get to see that I have a profile. I do not post my real name and my screen name anywhere side by side on the net that is publicly accessible; meaning, the only place you can see these two things is on my Facebook, if you're my friend, and in that case, you probably know both of those things already. My intention in doing this is to keep people from finding information about me via the internet; I'd rather keep my private life private, thanks. And even on Facebook, it can be such.
