Comment on A rather curious landing page

Comments

Is hiding an input element really more functional than just having an input field appear on the page? The simple fact that it required instruction to use: "Hint: click or drag on the page" (and rather ambiguous instruction too as there are 2 "pages") belies the functional simplification that it seems to present.

I wanted to suggest something in an interesting way. In the context of the product which I should not reveal yet, the interaction would make a lot of sense. I don't expect people to think this is the best email sign up mechanism. As long as it tickles the landing page has fulfilled it's purpose.

There's a clearly visible idea presented here; at least I see something about writing anywhere you like, just like on paper.

i assume the service is a social page annotation embeddable script they they allow others to embed. this is a kid of demo.

Nope. With "the way we express our ideas online" I was actually trying to mean writing and blogging. Should I reword?
