I was referring to using the Tor Browser Bundle or any other client to access the internet over Tor, which has different security implications than running an exit node or relay. That said, feel free to use it for whatever you want - just be aware of the tradeoffs/risks. You can't just turn on Tor and assume that you're instantly more anonymous and secure - to achieve that, people need to completely change their browsing habits. Surfing the web through Tor without taking extra precautions is essentially saying "I don't trust the web site I'm visiting or any node between it and me, but I will implicitly trust this random group of volunteer exit node operators who have assured me that they have no malicious intent."
