An easy to set up distributed computing system, like dRb but with a
nice naming layer.

Systems monitoring

Data collection

An easy way to get a CLI on a daemon

Instant notifications of site updates.

Lots o' uses, most unimagined.

I have this feeling that XMPP/Jabber is going to be Very Important as
time goes on, though, as it's got RFC numbers, and has tentacles in a
lot of protocols -- there's talk of it replacing or extending SIP, and
there's already a mapping to the SIMPLE IM protocol. There's
Atom-over-Jabber in the works, too.  It's just a useful system.
