The use of Social Media among Progressives

This article encourages Progressives to be active in social media, claiming,

“Social Media is going to be one of the central battlegrounds in the 2012 election cycle in the US. The corporate right understands this very well, and they have invested mass sums from their war chest to send in legions of mindless astroturfers to try to control content aggregation and spin.”

The article then summarizes the various the types of social media out there and states Progressives should be more active across the social media spectrum outside of Facebook and Twitter. What are your thoughts? What role do you think social media will play in the 2012 election cycle?
