I think they work as a kind of index, overview or sitemaps(if the site is simple enough). I think it some cases having some information(usually links) in footer than on the sides could make the sites less cluttered. On the sites I'm involved with we only have tiny footers that we use for sister-sites links. I think it's best to see the situation, the site and what it needs. And no, I did not see the "Recent Posts" untill you told me. Strangeley I've noticed footer bars on many other websites. I think it seem to work on short pages. You shouldn't listen to me though, I'm no Nielsen, I'm just a graphic designer trainee. I would be carefull with using them for anything important.

I've used them before on my sites. Works pretty well and removes a lot of clutter from the side bar. Yaaay! I’ve used them before on my sites.
