Well done! And kudos to all who added to this list!

I was assisting our brand consultant do some research for our company (quick plug: we develop a product called Mugzy, a comprehensive monetization solution for SocNets) when I stumbled across this site. Great info, thank you.

Brands engaging with their consumers, and consumers engaging with their brands â€“ what a concept! :)

Thanks everyone â€“

I'm going to spend some time browsing the sites a bit to see where Clutter Control Freak can make some improvements. Maybe we'll make your list someday!

In addition to the Angie's List community forums and member contractor reports, we have the Blue House Blog and Angie's blog. They aren't "Will it blend?", but then again, nothing else is :)

Here is an interesting one www.ideaconnect2.com a social community for people in healthcare, contains blogs, discussion forums, articles and webcasts. The Company sponsoring it is Concerro a SaaS provider of Excellence in Staffing Solutions. Healthcare is probably one of the furthest behind in technology adoption, but a fertile area for debate about new solutions with 47m americans uninsured, a nursing shortage and an ongoing financial crisis.

Here are some more examples of corporate blogging case studies:

I guess it will only increase and more and more corporates are asking what they can do online and in the social media space. Earlier, the requests used to come primarily the companies in the tech and consumer products verticals, but today even B2B products/services companies are jumping onto the bandwagon.

Ben,

Take a look at this UK example, where elected representatives are asked questions via widgets and Facebook apps (and answer using webcam).

www.yoosk.com

Yoosk works in partnership with mainstream media- here's an example of a government minister using the yoosk platform to consult readers of a newspaper on new legislative proposals.

Good list. One kind of social networking that isn't as easy to see, so maybe you missed it, is what's going on behind the corporate firewall. At Sabre, we launched our community, SabreTown, which got 65% adoption in three months (out of 9,000 employees worldwide), because it's easy-to-use, not corporate, and we never mentioned that it was social networking (which would have turned non-believers off). It has a lot of the usual stuff: blogs, profiles, flicker-type stuff, plus a question and answer capability.

It's tied together by a relevance engine that collects everything you write, post, enter into your profile, ask or answer, flicker about, etc., so when you do ask a question, it's sent to the 15 most relevant people who can answer your question. Results since August 07 launch: 6,000 questions asked; average question gets nine answers; average question gets first answer within an hour 45% of the time, within 24 hours 90% of the time; hundreds of thousands of dollars saved by cutting down on lost time looking for information, finding in-house language translators rather than hiring out-of-house, finding a 1,500 word acronym glossary someone had been fashioning for years; and a re-connected community after several years of globalizing the workforce.

Read more about it at cubeless.com, where we are selling this capability to other organizations.

This is a lovely case of social media marketing from Belgium. It's for the ING bank "Lyon Account" for students. The discussion is in Dutch (Flemmish dialect), but the graphics are still funny, especially if you've been to Belgium, where the beer is delicious and you have to pay to use the lou.
The campaign can be found here: http://www.emakina.com/work...
