... but there are often many more interesting things out there in the wild than we're necessarily aware of -- for example: Rdio, the new GoogleArtProject.com, and Pitchfork.com. Are you currently working on a fun Backbone app, or have you seen one recently that we might not have heard about?
Not a lick of HTML is rendered by our backend in the 1.0 version of Zapier. It's all Backbone.js!
We even have a (unusual?) nested view pattern that really helps us segment complicated logic.
Our co-founder (mikeknoop on HN) even did a talk on Backbone at our local meetup. Maybe Google alerts will bring him here and he'll finally get around to posting it... ;-)
http://nosweaters.com is beginning to incorporate Backbone into its setup (currently utilized in user /home feed and idea suggestion path), and my personal project site, http://showhopping.com is moving from its spaghetti crufty mess to a completely BB/Require setup.
We're using more and more backbone in https://paydirtapp.com - it's currently an integral part of our time-tracker, with the same code base reused in our Chrome and Firefox extensions. We're also using it to drive d3.
I wrote http://www.mineconics.net using Backbone, it solved my jQuery spaghetti and reduced my LoC by about 25%, it made it easier to add new features as well. Thanks for Backbone!

A side question, which seems worth asking as long as this is floating at the top of HN ...
We try to rotate in fresh projects into the list of Backbone apps on the homepage:

A lot of d3.js users use Backbone to manage datasets, and do simple dataflow architectures to link visualizations together.
http://openhercules.com is a backbone app
Off topic but I love your explanation of the openhercules name.
Edit: just played with the sample list and the keyboard interaction is pretty impressive too. Nice work.
http://bookmarkly.com is all Backbone and the code is at https://github.com/dangrossman/Bookmarkly
this site looks awesome and i'd like to use it, but how do i know you'll be around in a year?
http://spacelog.org
http://kandan.me is a backbone app, as well as a few others we've developed at Bushido so far.
Over at kiva.org we got a nifty little project that'll be using Backbone...we hope to have it live in the first week of May...
http://planscope.io is Backbone with a ton of customization
I'm working on http://www.textdropapp.com
yep, backbone has been a huge timesaver. 13 model/collection types, 24 views and counting.
leave timestamped comments on any video http://www.quipvideo.com
How can you tell that Pitchfork.com is using backbone?
Take a peek in the JS console:

... once I get a fuller description from them about how they're using it -- I'll post it up.
Why would you use Backbone as a global?
we have used backbone, on http://focal.io and in chrome extension of focal.
