i remember diaspora chanting about using mongodb.
then a year or two later they admitted that their data model mostly fitted the relational model, and that they spent a lot of time basically reimplementing relational integrity in application code, in ruby.
yeah, diaspora has never been fast. I'm not sure they can blame it on mongodb though.
