What business cases are there for using Markov chains? I've seen the sort of play area of a markov chain applied to someone's blog to write a fake post. I'd like some practical examples though? E.g. useful in business or prediction of stock market, or the like...

Edit: Thanks to all who gave examples, I upvoted each one as they were all useful.

Hidden Markov models are based on a Markov chain and extensively used in speech recognition and especially bioinformatics.
