Look Mom: no pagination!

Jul20

Humanized is a small company based in Chicago concerned with making the computer experience better. In a weblog post on their website called "No More More Pages?" they address the problem of navigation:


The problem is that every time a user is required to click to the next page, they are pulled from the world of content to the world of navigation: they are no longer thinking about what they are reading, but about about how to get more to read. Because it breaks their train of thought and forces them to stop reading, it gives them the opportunity to leave the site. And a lot of the time, they do.

Is it possible to have more and more content without pagination? Humanized tries out an idea on their RSS reader application. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the effect.
