For fun, I am creating a sort of microblogging webapp where people can comment on certain things.

The basic "What is your opinion on this?" should be easy doable with just PHP (input the data in the database).

Along with that I want to create a statistics page, also easy doable with PHP. But what if I want to update that page in realtime? How would I integrate Node on that page? Or shouldn't I use Node for that?

When would you use Node?
