Anything that has a volume of changing data that needs to be close to real time would benefit. Anything that has that requirement and also wants to be available on the web would most certainly benefit. High-frequency trading and games/betting/TV-related-data (e.g. NASCAR), etc are definitely cases. How about just anything that is currently done via polling and wants to reduce network overhead? There are a lot of those types of applications. (full disclosure - I work for Kaazing, the leading enterprise WebSocket company, though I'm most definitely not speaking for them in any capacity).
