Plurk used Node for 8 months in production environment and they seemed overall pleased with the project. They also did their project on Node 0.1.33 and we are now at v. 0.4.8 so I'm sure while this post serves as a fair warning that it might not be perfect for any project, Node is still very good.

I don't know if it's deployed yet but Jason Roberts of techzing (Great Podcast btw, here: http://techzinglive.com/ ) has been talking about a node.js rewrite of the backend for car hire service Uber (http://www.uber.com/)

Would that that count?

Node is in production at SimpleGeo, IIRC.

I heard somewhere that Facebook uses Node for recording stats. (Can't dig up the story though :S)

(ASIDE) Really appreciate the heads up on techzing -- been looking for a podcast to add to Java Posse and Mixergy for over a year and never been happy with Podcast discovery in iTunes. Just added TechZ and can't stop hitting "GET" reading through all the past episodes.
