I found looking at this page http://www.youtube.com/t/annotations_about on YouTube was very handy as it is almost a step by step guide, there is no tricks on how to use the software is is fairly basic however again it is a software like QR codes which you can make as hard or as easy as you like & as long as you have a YouTube account you can use this software as much as you like. If you already have Videos uploaded to YouTube they can also be annotated, by clicking a simple button on the video whilst in the software it will bring up a new page which allows you to add annotations to the existing video.
When I think about it I have seen these Interactive videos done for advertising purposes, I have come across them on pop up adds which is quite annoying but I have also seen them on television however you are not actually interacting with the questions, for this they do a survey and on the whole make the interactions based on the results of the survey, which I do think is a good idea. For this we had a Mini-brief which was to plan and implement and interactive narrative using the YouTube annotation software, having the idea of different outcomes.
I teamed up with Orlagh and Tom and after brainstorming our ideas we decided we wanted to do something that would challenge the audience, like a game of some sort, and therefore we came up with the idea of Rock, Paper, Scissors (obviously not the actual idea) but we took the idea of that simple game and wanted to turn it interactive with this idea we imagined the audience choosing or almost guessing the one they want and seeing if they win

This is a picture of our Storyboarding ^
Opinion?
Although the idea of the video was quite basic and not very exciting, I think it was good for our first time experimenting with the software and if I was to do it again I would like to make it more complex
