It's not a publicly accessible application, but we sprinkled some ajax into the latest version of one of our applications using cfajax. The app in question deals with people/contact type data, so we put in some relatively simple things like being able to star the person, give them a rating, set status, etc. which is all done with ajax. That way when someone's looking at a contact sheet the page doesn't have to reload just to accomplish these simple tasks. We also use it quite a bit to load select menus based on the choice in another select. Pretty simple stuff but it adds a lot of niceties from the user's perspective. I found cfajax (http://www.indiankey.com/cfajax/) extremely easy to get into. I've also heard good things about Rob Gonda's ajaxcfc (http://www.robgonda.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/1/1/ajaxCFC-server-side-JavaScript-and-dynamic-content) but haven't tried it myself yet.
