I like the concept, but the interface is not usable. You chose to try to make it cool instead of usable. Just make it more normal. The kinds of people who will be using your website will not be comfortable with the interface. Start the app with content first, the first thing I should see is the data on jobs around me that you have. It should try to look up my location using any available APIs. Whether mobile GPS apis…

Mongodb has one good thing, excellent geospatial queries. I am taking advantage of that. Its the only reason that I picked mongodb.

It starts with user registration? Why not make it work without registration?

This application needs userid for many other additional functionality and so has to track who the user is. That has always been the reason why logins are needed in applications. If you just doing a onetime request like a google search then no login is needed. Even a simple blog requires login to track your comments. Thats the way the web goes. Thats until someone comes up with a solution like single-sign-on.
