There are some reasons not to use it, such as not "owning" your RSS subscribers.<br/><br/>However, one thing that I've found, despite my main site have quite a hefty number of subscribers, is that FAN just doesn't pay its way. The ads that show up in my feed are awful visually speaking and I think the only and only cheque I had from FB was for $3.45. Which in old-world money is not even a pint of beer.<br/><br/>I will be interested to see whether Google can help me monetize my feeds better, although if it's just an extension of Adsense they use, I'm not sure that would be such a great improvement.
