A List of Social Media Marketing Examples

I've been thinking about how social media works.  For example, applying game mechanics to understand participation, thinking about users vs. customers, and deconstructing ego traps in PR campaigns.  This analysis makes me wonder if social media marketing matters and if so, does it scale.

I thought you might benefit from some of my background research on these topics.  And I'd appreciate your help in curating this list by providing more details and submitting additional cases.

[update 10.17.08] Thanks for your input and additions - the list has more than doubled from community contributions.  For easier storing and sharing, you can stumble, bookmark, or digg this page.

[update 10.29.08] For updates, you can subscribe to this page's comments feed or Twitter hashtag search for #smmlist.  The page also has a shortened URL: http://bit.ly/smmlist.

[update 12.08.08] I've set up a framework for these examples in a wiki.  Please contribute any new examples (and port your old ones) into A Wiki of Social Media Marketing Examples.
