I think identi.ca is a much more suitable tool for spreading such news, because of it's distributed nature (unlike Twitter). After the Wikileaks case, we all learned that ISPs may be too obedient to government pressures, so a distributed system is a must. Facebook has one important advantage: the big number of non-technical users. Beyond that, its notoriously security and privacy issues makes it more of a pro-government tool (via secret services) than a pro-revolutionary one.
