It's not about Facebook clone, they still use MySQL for some functionality (i believe), but not as RDBMS but more like NoSQL...

NoSQL means model your data in a different way, the way you'll be using it. For some it makes more sense, for some may not.

For example, compare implementation of a tagging system in mongo and any other RDBMS, which one is easier?

As I said, I never bothered with NoSQL so I cannot properly answer it.
