Let's start with the ones that have figured out an angle and are actually using social media to communicate effectively with thier market or a segment of it. The following Fortune 500 blogs are best of breed: Want to see a list of Fortune 500's that are blogging?

Third Reich to Fortune 500: Five Popular Brands the Nazis Gave Us
2008-01-04 07:02:00 Already today you've used at least one product from a company that, at one time, worked for the Nazis. Now, in the name of not getting sued, we'd like to make it clear that we're not accusing any of the below companies of still being in bed with the Third Reich. All of them, to our knowledge, have long disavowed Hitler's regime as being both monstrous and no longer profitable. Via Gorillamask
