#24I really like this. Makes explaining things very easy. One critique, the first step allows me to click on the main screen to advance, but from there I have to move to the navigation bar below. Is this configurable? I only went through the linked example. EDIT: I didn't catch that you could actually execute the actions laid out to move forward.

#25It looks really cool, but clicking on one of the newly created projects[1] gives me a 500 error and a coldfusion stacktrace, you might want to turn those off. [1] http://www.iorad.com/?a=app.htmlplayer&accessCode=GUEST&...

#27The instructional dialogue windows dominate the screen visually so it distracts the user from what's actually happening on the website. They won't know where to focus their eyes, and the amount of time it takes for them to orient themselves for each dialogue could make it more cumbersome than a "regular" screencast.

#28I think people who hate screencasts would also be annoyed at the slow animations between each step. Is it just me, or are they more than a second long?
Agreed - though without the slow animations I think you might be on to something. I know a lot of people who hate video/screencasts.
