This seems likely to become standard procedure as internet-ready phones become ubiquotus. However, for the most part, what is said at a trial is a matter of public record. I agree with Sarah, however, how powerful has "groupthink" become? In many high-profile cases judges have confiscated cell phones.

As a juror, don't you have to swear not to disclose any of the information - and refrain from watching TV, reading the newspaper, or discussing any part of the trial with your friends/family/etc.? How are social networks any different? A whole separate issue is why someone would use Facebook to get her friends' opinion instead of making her own decision. Has peer pressure become so crippling that they can't make a legal decision without checking to see whether it's okay with the cool kids? That's ridiculous.
