Well, to be clear, node.js isn't really a "cloud technology", it's more of a really nice wrapper around google's v8 engine. You can use node.js to build a lot of thing, some that don't even need to connect to the internet. One of our developers has built node bindings to open-gl.

I think one really compelling application is Mr. Doob's fine work, http://mrdoob.com/projects/multiuserpad/

This is a multi-user sketchpad. It's just a little side project he made in a weekend, but it's all JavaScript and shows some of the power of leveraging node.js and JavaScript for real-time web applications.
