Several things to say, and not enough time right now to say them all. In brief:
Check out Yammer, a “micro-blogging tool for the Enterprise founded by David Sacks, former COO of PayPal and current CEO of Geni” (from the press release). “Yammer is a tool for making companies and organizations more productive through the exchange [...]
In yet another great pointer from the Twitterati, check out Peter Kim’s List of Social Media Marketing Examples.
This is an A to Z listing of 131 companies (and probably increasing) that are “using and being used by social media marketing”.

“If only most companies realised the treasure trove of expertise and information that their employees would be able to access if they encouraged the use of such services.”
