Palestinian Authority Factions using Social Media against one another

So with the Middle East in riots (in Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, even a little in Yemen), some governments are trying to preempt the use of social media, and engage their own supporters. This article about the Palestinian Authority political factions are using social media against each other. Hamas and Fatah, the two main parties in the area have both begun movements against each other, with the not-in-power Hamas organization (considered a terrorist organization by many countries) claiming a following of over 8000 people. With instability rampant in the region, it is interesting to see a proactive use of social media.
