Foursquare for the Holidays
This is a good place to start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2
It mentions a whole bunch of stuff including:
social-networking sites (Myspace & Facebook etc.)
social bookmarking (Digg, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon)
podcasts
wikis (Wikipedia :) )
blogs
folksonomies (I guess this is social-tagging/bookmarking)
RSS (syndication)
Mashups
etc.
Cheers

This leads you also in a few additional directions, including:
- Collective Intelligence (including crowdsourcing),
- SOA, and
- RIA in general.
RIA is especially worth considering because you're talking about marketing; it changes the interface to such an extent that the concept of a "page" is almost irrelevant. Making that concept even more irrelevant is hot - views, services and actions - until that back button disappears. And SOA, well... there are lots of directions there.
As far as less obvious case studies, try:
- Amazon Web Services Group
- lemonade.com
- FaceBook Badges
And, of course, get some histories from Howard Rheingold's SMART MOBS and David Weinberger's SMALL PIECES LOOSELY JOINED. (Available on this thing call Paper. :)
Imho, something that brings two or more disparate systems together, rather than trying to reinvent the best features (with yet another login to maintain that identical data...), is going to be the next killer app.

The *opt-in* meme.
I'm serious.
If you remove the viral nature of a meme, and instead let people view it and choose whether they want to participate, a meme can be a valuable method for networking and sharing.
Something to think about, at least.
- Snazzy UI - Rounded Corners, Metallic Fonts, etc.
- Tag clouds
- Blogrolls
For more ideas Jake, just look at your tag cloud on oracleappslab.com !
@Puneet: Lulz, the whole idea of crowdsourcing is to use the lazy web, i.e. I don't do anything. You do it for me :) Thanks for the suggestions, I especially like "Snazzy UI".
Google being the front runner with its product suite consisting of ( GMail, GDocs, GReader etc) has convinced people using desktop clients to shift to web as the working alternative.
Salesforce.com, Oracle On-Demand, Office Live and many others are quintessential of how SAAS philosophy has materialized in form of grown up web applications based on 2.0 tech stack.
Have a look at Chris Anderson's talk (link in this blog post: http://thekillerattitude.com/2008/01/freeconomi... ) - well spent 45 mins.
Good luck!
@Johan: Sweet, I plan to watch it today. I enjoy Anderson's talks, must be the economics major in me.

posted a comment to your comment on my blog and notified you in a comment on your blog. 2.0-ish enough?
Short version. No, I don't have the slides. Found a similiar set of slides though. Jump to my blog for the link..
