See their entire post here and read what led them to leave Facebook for completely. There you go! How about you, are you successfully using Facebook? In what cases would that be?

Interesting question. Thx for posting Rand’s whiteboard friday. I had missed that one. I think this approach could work when you have a strong established blog with high domain authority, esp if other people consistently mention their blog. It can also work when you have a high subscriber base.
