The only problem is, there is no means of reference to past events or comments.

Not entirely sure you can class Facebook as 'A passing phase'. Its as good as the person that works it. There are timelines, archives and history. You can search for people that went to the same school as you, worked at the same place as you, or find people that you met at an event years ago and have never met since. You can search companies, their histories and their related businesses, not just locally but around the world.
Maybe the limitation isnt with the platform but with knowledge of how it can be used?
