How can Chatter help the SMB?

Chatter is the latest in social media for the enterprise from salesforce.com. It is now generally available as of June 22, 2010. When people talk about the benefits of chatter it is generally in the context of a larger enterprise; Phrases like 'break down silos', 'increase communication', 'foster collaboration' are frequently heard. What is not as often discussed is the SMB market. At first blush you may think, why would I use chatter when I can just talk to the person beside me?

I can think of some good uses of Chatter for an SMB.

Salesforce Multi-Currency Expense Reports

Salesforce provides foreign currency management.  You define the currencies and their decimal places and conversion rate. You need to request explicitly that Salesforce enables the multi-currency feature for your organization. You can enable the Advanced Currency Management yourself, which allows to update the currency rates for a specific date range (minimum: one day).  If you want to use dated exchange rates, they are restricted to  opportunities, opportunity products, and opportunity reports.
