#2Please 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.

#3I watched the video and clicked get started, looked at the screen and left. I still don't know what I should do or why.

#4My 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.

#5As 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.

#9Just wow. Did you have a competition on how you could tell as little as possible with a video? because that video just won that competition.
