Mongo and Cassandra databases

[tug]

I will still come back to my trivial MySQL / Postgres question.. but in 
the mean time, I've been asked to look at MongoDB 
(http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Home) and Cassandra 
(http://incubator.apache.org/cassandra/) for possible inclusion in a 
project (and no, there is specific project in mind)

These products look to me like things for quick turn around killer 
webapps that are intended to virally take over the world, and would be 
risky to use unless you had nothing to loose in the first place... any 
heartfelt opinions?
