What types of applications have you seen or made using node.js?

Question

I'm not looking for a definition of what it is, but I'm curious to know what types of applications (or plan) to use for it.

Answer 1

I think one of the most common use cases is using a comet (ajax long polling). Node.JS is very well suited for those due to its invoked nature.

With the help of comet technology, you can create real-time applications. Like chats, etc.

Answer 3

I used the IRC bot on the Freenode network, which was created using node.js, Protobot .
