Hi Andy,
I found it a practical way to skip the mock-up stage, not the
wireframe stage. Indeed, as doing mock-ups i.e: using Photoshop tends
to produce unrealistic screens (i.e: typography with photoshop is
always better/different than typography on the browser).
However, I would say it requires

Couldn't you just wireframe in HTML?

Based upon my experience - it very definitely depends upon subject

Bonnie,
I've never used Balsamiq for interactive wireframing but I believe
it could be successful. When I've done interactive wireframing, it
usually has been with HTML (Axure also is a great tool but
expensive).
My preference for Balsamiq, though, is to demonstrate a sketchy
