Who are we?

Progressive PST Progressive PST was founded in 2009 by a group of Daily Kos bloggers who noticed the extreme disparity in uptake and effective usage of Twitter as a communication tool between the Republican and Democratic parties. After much research and beta testing, Progressive PST has developed a set of proprietary tools which help Democratic candidates and advocacy groups use Twitter for more than just traditional microblogging messaging. While Twitter is our primary area of expertise, as Progressive PST's client base has grown, our services have grown to include strategies for the effective use of Facebook as well. Progressive PST was born in the Netroots and its mission is to help to elect more and better Democrats across the country.
