When you go to the bother of starting a would-be political revolution in 2015, it's important to remember how social media can influence the voters.
Which is why, perhaps, Ireland's newest political party Renua Ireland really should have nabbed the Facebook profile name while they could.
With Lucinda Creighton's party dominating the Irish media landscape this morning, with every pundit weighing on the name and the logo, so quick-minded person jumped onto the social media landscape to see what presence Renua has. And it seem that Facebook, the world's most popular and influential social network, will be void of Renua's presence for a while, as someone else went and took the name first.
And something tells us this isn't the sort of political messages Renua wants associated with their manifesto:
