There is a really fun interesting story at the KC Beer Blog about making Boulevard Nutcracker.
Honestly, I've never even heard the term "Green Hopping" before.  There is a decent article on it here.  (FYI: the Beaujolais nouveau  reference in the article is stupid.  Nouveau is terrible hurry-up wine.  It is closer to using freshly picked spices in a recipe)
It seems that hops spoil within a day or two if not dried after picking.  Wet Hopping must be done very soon after harvest.
