Most, yes. But I believe the Smithsonian's PDF approach is intended for the
latter.
This said, I don't know that social networking sites were ever intended
for this use. But then neither was email. I don't know that it's any harder
to save a thread from Facebook and add a date to the file name than it is to
save an email thread. Either would require some editing to be of scholarly
use. (My one and only academic paper began as an effort to combine posts to
an email thread into something coherent.)

While useful, I believe these only save your own posts... not ones
made by someone else that you found interesting. Nor the post you
were replying to, and others in the conversation.
