Very weird-- was just asking about a pagination pattern on Twitter earlier. There's another concept, which it looks like we're calling "inline pagination," in which our intrepid user clicks a "Next 30 results" button or link, and the items add to the current scrolling list. So instead of navigating back to the first set of results, they're right there in the scroll list. See Twitter's "More Tweets" feature (scroll to the bottom of your timeline page), as well as iPhone's "load more SMS messages" button while looking at lengthy SMS history.
Just another pattern to add to the toolbox. Apparently Bill Scott and Theresa Neil cover this (thanx @ilowelife): http://is.gd/gmkc - Nasir ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
