My first reaction when I first heard of this method, oh, maybe a week ago was I didn't like it - in fact, I would go so far to say, I hated it. Than I saw this post and checked out the link and again, I was thinking how frustrating it was.
But than Meredith mentions Google Reader uses this approach. I have been using Google Reader for a couple months now, it's how I keep up with my posts here. I miss a day and I have over a 100 posts waiting for me to read, and with expanded view, it's a long page to scan. So in these two months, it never occured to me that the infinite scroll was being implemented, it was invisible to me. I use my scroll roll on the mouse (what is that called anyway?) so can't say I paid much attention to the scroll bar length and position. I also notice that if you auto scroll (press the scroll roll on the mouse) it will continue to load for you with only a slight delay between loads for an almost seemless scroll to bottom. I think it's one of those situations that if you bring it to someone's attention, they may decide not to like it, but if you don't say anything, it probably won't interfere with user experience much. But of course, it depends. :) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
