What are some GUIs to use with Mongo, and what features do they offer? I'm looking for facts here, not opinions on which interface is best.
To open up the MongoDB shell, run the mongo command from your server prompt. By default, the mongo command opens a shell connected to a locally-installed MongoDB instance running on port 27017 . Try running the mongo command with no additional parameters: mongo.
mongod is the primary daemon process for the MongoDB system. It handles data requests, manages data access, and performs background management operations.

Web Based
For PHP, I'd recommend Rock Mongo. Solid, lots of great features, easy setup.

If you don't want to install anything ... you can use MongoHQ's web interface (even if you your MongoDB isn't on MongoHQ.)

Mac OS X
While MongoHub had been a decent option for a while it's bugs make it virtually unusable at this point ...
There is a more up-to-date (and less buggy) fork of the MongoHub project available: https://github.com/fotonauts/MongoHub-Mac you can download a binary here.
Windows
By far, the best UI (for Windows) currently out there is MongoVUE.

WARNING/UPDATE: MongoVUE seems to be abandoned.
Looks great, lots of features, and if you are new it will really help you get going ...

Here's a Q&A with the author too if you are interested ...

On Mac there is MongoHub. On Windows you could try MongoVUE.
