It worked against Digg, but only because a reasonably well-known, functional equivalent existed that people could use instead.

Digg also (IIRC) wasn't an moral outrage against the company, but an reaction to the product itself.

This happens because of the publicity that companies get when new users find out about them this way. Everyone who gets this news knows Facebook by now, so there is no such effect in play here.
