Beat Freaks wins the internet war, but will it matter?

Maria at A Time to Dance analyzes how Quest and Beat Freaks use the web's social networking tools. Her conclusion -- Beat Freaks wins hands-down. Here's her comparison:
  • Beat Freaks and its fans take full advantage of free tools including a Wordpress blog, a Facebook page, a Youtube channel, MySpace page, and twitter. The FreaktheVote.com site has a professional look and feel, with voting access
  • Quest's website is less oriented toward fans, and Maria thinks the mission statement is more corporate than social. Their Facebook and Myspace pages have relatively low usage and there is no Twitter or Youtube channel
My question: will this make a difference in who wins the title of America's Best Dance Crew this season? Should it?
