The document discusses eight uses of outward-facing social media for organizations: the corporate voice, targeted campaigns, engaging enthusiasts, leveraging groups and communities, rewarding loyal users, idea-sourcing from crowds, getting help from knowledgeable users, and driving traffic to events. It provides examples for each use and notes that social media focuses on enabling product co-creation, mass customer self-service, and customer communities rather than technology. It recommends starting small, dramatically lowering experience barriers, collecting user contributions, enabling community formation as an open platform, and adopting new thinking rather than old management methods for social media strategies.
