Coding Horror: The End of Pagination
Dear God I hate this anti-pagination nonsense.<p>I <i>loathe</i> infinite scroll. It puts you at the mercy of the site doing browser caching right (no one does) otherwise you click on a link, click back and then have to start from the beginning again.<p>Even <i>Apple</i> gets this wrong (you'll reach a point going through the Top Charts in the App Store where pressing Back reduces you back to the first 10 results).<p>Pages can be bookmarked easily, which can be <i>incredibly</i> important. Paging is also easier for crawling (otherwise it requires some JS evaluation or other hackery).<p>DZone is a good example of a site that annoys the crap out of me with infinite scroll.<p>Seriously, cut that shit out.
