We could do like google reader does.
Get a set amount of later items, 20 or 30, then when the user scrolls
near the bottom of those items we send another query for another 20 or
30 and load them in dynamically.
I've never used Google reader -- does it have any kind of sorting
capability for the list of entries?
The progressive loading technique (a.k.a. the 'endless single page')
would still mean that effectively we're loading (pretending to load) the
entire data set, sorted according to some criteria. So re-sorting would
still require a trip back to the server, which is one of the things
we're trying to avoid in order to increase performance and limit the load.
