Guest post by Frank Strong. In the Spring of 2007, I returned to my full time job after an 18-month deployment that included a year in Iraq and realized that the world of public relations had changed. While I was an early adopter of social sites like LinkedIn, most PR pros weren’t generally using social media for PR purposes. Twitter, which was founded in 2006, didn’t exist when I left.

There are a ton of Irish-themed events taking place all over the world and, most likely, in your neck of the woods today. But how’s this for a way to spread the St. Patrick’s Day green in a somewhat different way? Image: Saint Angel via Flickr , CC 2.0.
