They are just as robust if not more so than the delegate pattern and can greatly simplify code. Having said that, the delegate pattern is also useful. Use what’s best. In this case I think using a blocks as callbacks to the Facebook API is pretty smart.

Using a block you can only receive the callbacks defined in the argument list.  I suppose in a way it formalizes the interface as you know what callbacks to expect because they are well defined for each method, it is also more convenient to code for slightly, but it is less flexible.

Callbacks are so C/C++
