Nudge users towards goals with annoying CSS3 arrows

Rather than use this do the call to action, a better usage for me would be a 'help mode', user clicks help and a wucik walk through of functionality is presented using these arrows to draw attention to some area of the screen.

Wow, they're right. It's really annoying. At least they're honest.

I'm going to split test it on a new site soon, have no idea if it will have a positive effect on sign ups. What do you reckon? I'll do a post on the results, either way!

Nice idea, I'll try and think of some additional options to make it configurable for this. Thanks!

Surely adult sites will put this to good use.

Is this faster with real browsers than moving a DOM node offset, or using an animated GIF?
