Please don't over-ride my scroll mechanism and force me to use keys to mystery-navigate - there's no indication that there are panels to scroll to, other than mashing the keyboard and trying.

If you need a pop-up alert to explain to users how to use your UX, it is probably not as good as traditional UX like a nice scroll page.

My recommendation would be to make your video more instructional in nature rather than "edgy". Go through some real examples. I watched the video and ran a couple of searches and had no idea what the value was or what I was supposed to be using your product for. Sharing search results? Annotating them? Why? I searched for "best falafel" and got a popup telling me I had 3 search maps (what are those?) about things like cheap cars and startups in India.

As the other commenters have said, this was incomprehensible to me (I didn't watch the video, unlike the others, but you should be prepared for people not watching introductory videos - I for one hardly ever do).

Does this make more sense in other cultures? I know a wok is a round-bottomed cooking pan - I don't know what that has to do with links or search though. There also seemed sporadically to be some anime characters showing up - should this have been a clue to something?

This could be something incredible, I just have no idea what.
