Everyone is talking about NodeJS so I though I'll look into it by creating a usefull project but I cant really think of something usefull to build on NodeJS tha fully demonstrates it's capabilities.

does any of you have a good idea ?

If it's web-based apps you're interested in creating, and if you don't mind following a tutorial, then I'll recommend DailyJS's tutorial series on building a web-based, Notepad-like application from start to finish on Node: http://dailyjs.com/tags.html#lmawa.

It covers all the basics, including databases, middleware, templates and testing.

Build a web framework, like everybody else. ;)

But seriously, this can expose you to network programming, file i/o, and HTTP at a level that isn't typically reached when using someone else's framework (hands-on is much better than reading somebody else's code).

With Node it may no longer be "Build a blog," but rather "Build a framework that builds a blog."

Just any website should do. You could for example do a blog involving NodeJS and MongoDB.

Node.js can be probably hardly used to build single useful project or module which demonstrates all of it's capabilities because there are many areas which it can be applied to. I would say you should pick the area which interests you the most so that you won't lose your enthusiasm and eventually you can become an expert in that particular area.
