I have discovered that "the fold" has different levels of relevance according to the audience. For example, working for a tech company with an audience composed primarily of engineers, we discovered that so long as the information was easily navigable (anchored properly, etc.), users preferred a long page to multiple pages for tech specs, tutorials, case studies, etc. But a news site benefits from chunking pages and offering a "print" or "single page" option for the minority that desire a single page.
Right now I work for a social network in which our user profiling shows several strong minorities of browser and resolution, so we can be flexible in design. So long as there is a clue that scrolling down leads to interesting information or apps for them, we're good :-) bests, Alex O'Neal UX manager -- The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago.
