It's a distributed multi-node key-value store. They built it using Erlang (I almost consider that, alone, a "feature").

Based off Amazon's Dynamo work (think S3).

It also makes different trade-offs in usability of the software. It is (in my opinion) the most sysadmin friendly datastore, without hiding complexity, the tools are just pleasant to use. However, it has a larger curve for developers. We did a shootout to find a solution that would work for our needs and it came down to Mongo vs. Riak. We went with Mongo and are feeling the pain of getting everything automated and set up, but consider it a one-time cost rather than an "every time we get a new developer" cost.

#6I'm very interested in seeing the new Admin console; is there a URL for that. Finding the docs a little light.

Having worked with some quite large Mongo setups, I think you'll find the administration of Mongo ends up being significantly more than a single upfront cost.
Dealing with sharding + replica sets is an administrative nightmare with Mongo.

There's little relationship between Dynamo and S3. Riak is based on the former but not the latter.
