Discount Nothing

I've been considering the problem of the sketchbook in architectural education. Its a great resource for documenting your own thoughts, a sort of thinking out loud, but time again students get to a final crit. and under scrutiny find themselves referencing embryonic ideas who importance had been forgotten or gone unnoticed.

Having done little research, there is a mature trend for business using blogs as an informal way to share knowledge and expertise internally. Could a school of architecture use students propensity for social networking to circulate these ideas and seek feedback?

I would like to propose a system whereby posts would be selectively disseminated across the user group based on what students were working on at the time, seeking out common themes or problems irrelevant of stage or social background.
