So, I thought about the two typical ways people communicate in something
like Facebook.

1. They send messages to each other -- via wall posts, inbox messages, chat.

2. They publish things -- status updates, photos, notes, join groups.

For the messaging, something like XMPP could be used.

For the publishing, something like RSS or Atom could be used.

I think the UX would be similar to Facebook, but different in the ways
we encourage communication.
