"Magpie, what should we use SharePoint for? We keep hearing about all the things it can do, but not many specifics!"
One of SharePoint's biggest advantages is how flexible it can be. Unfortunately, that often makes it hard to adopt; people get confused on what to do with it!
This page should help you:
A Preview of the SharePoint Server 2010 Templates – Microsoft Office.com
It has short videos of 17 SharePoint Templates – layouts built for specific purposes. For example, one template will create a Document Center for you. Or maybe you'd like a Publishing Site for your PR team.
Pick one you like, and load it in SharePoint by creating a new Site. Then you'll see what it can do!
