I like this intuitive user experience. I have previously seen this on Microsoft Live image search and on a few other sites as well.
It seems to be ideal for cases where the top-most results are the ones most-likely to be pertinent to the user such as search results or ordered lists. It also would be nice for twitter or facebook-like timelines.
I did a quick test and it does not seem to work in Safari on the iPhone. The issue here might have something to do with $(window).scroll event not being compatible with this browser, although $(document).scroll ought to be.

- robryan 17y agoThis would be a very nice thing for facebook to add, I usually scroll down to the bottom of the news feed then stop rather than checking further back.
- dmlorenzetti 17y agoPersonally I find this user experience annoying and counter-intuitive. It makes the links, and the scroll bar indicator, inconsistent, by destroying any notion of "how far down the page" you are. Furthermore, returning to a page after visiting a hyperlink usually induces a bunch of jumping around as the page rebuilds (and often the browser ends up showing some other view anyhow). Finally, it comes across to me as though some programmer decided to get fancy, rather than as a considered solution to some actual problem with the page's load performance. In short, to date I have always found it a flashy hack, not an enhancement of my web experience.
