When I tried to use the storylinez site, it was taking a long time, around 1-6 seconds to completely respond to each hover. So it's hard for me to give more intelligent feedback than "it needs to be faster".

Especially with such a hover-centric navigation model, if reaction is not quick, users will have a hard time figuring out how to make things happen. I was reduced to hovering over random UI elements to see if anything happened.

I would recommend you take some of your non techy friends, sit them down at a computer, tell them "Hey, why don't you find some funny videos or something cool using this storylinez site", and see what they say.

Thanks. hmm. I've tested in IE7 and Firefox and I haven't seen that. This is exactly the stuff I need to know. Please sign up for the private beta so maybe you could try as I improve it.
