    Hey all

    We'd 2 weeks to put a no budget volunteer campaign together for St. Patrick's Day. Driven by the deflated National Spirit, we thought we would do our bit to try and restore some Irish Pride!

    Shamrock Urself was born and launched on Monday of this week. So far we've had a sea of Shamrocks on Facebook and we expect this to grow over today and tomorrow.

    We did learn a very important lesson that I'd like to share. Facebook have put a stop to Landing Pages as such, moving them from FBML to iFrame pages. We ran out of time but there is help available! Facebook app development companies, Wildfire and Involver, have each created a free, easy-to-use interface, which makes iframe app creation simpler.

    Just thought I'd share this little nugget.

    Feel free to join in the Facebook Celebration of Paddy's Day with us. The link is above.

    Have a great day tomorrow!

    All the best
    Sinead

    It was a nice app, Sinead. My only suggestion for improvement would be some easy way to pass it on, or 'suggest to friends'. That might have put a bit of a turbo boost behind the viral spread.
