Many social networking services have blogging tools. Facebook calls it notes, but it's essentially a blog.

Question is: Is it more advantageous to blog in a social network like Facebook, or use a blogging service like Blogger, Wordpress, Livejournal etc?

The most obvious advantage for social networks is that you have a ready base of readers who will be immediately updated of any postings as it happens. Also, this reader base happens to be interested (at least more than a stranger) in your activities and views. The only drawback is that it may not be a complete a system as some dedicated blogging services, and there's no telling how it will react when traffic comes flooding in.

A dedicated blogging service however doesn't have the auto notification features of a social network, but there are unless configuration options.

Are you a blogger? What are you using and why?
