That was my reason too. Like an idiot I even created two accounts: one personal, one business. Didn't take me long to see that was not a proper management of my time. I now have one account mainly for home business purposes (affiliate marketing, blogging, etc.). But I interact with folks in my network on a personal level and chit chat socially as well.
However, if I'm being honest, I wouldn't be on any social media if it weren't for the fact that people are there. Real people. They don't call the network Facebookistan for nothing! It is like a country. I've met real people and I have made new friends. People I would never get to know otherwise because I work from home and I will never travel to any of the places where these people live. It's kind of like having a pen pal relationship only it's on the Internet instead via snail mail. Also you meet like-minded people trying to work online like you do and you can share experiences and get advice. If there was another way for me to do these things without social media, I'd probably use the other way. But since these Facebook and other social media networks have been created, I'm using them. File it under PROGRESS!
