Facebook is like living in a large city. People are attracted to NYC because there is a lot going on there, they know people there, etc.
Saying "Why use facebook when I have the whole internet" is similar to saying "Why live in the city when I can live in any number of other small towns." Sure, some people aren't big city people, and they like the smaller tighter rural communities. The city can belittle someone's ego and make them feel small and insignificant. There are always going to be the "city people" and the "non-city people."
On Facebook Dvorak is just another user, but on pcmag.com he is an important journalist who's opinions are valued. Easy to see why he prefers one over the other.
