I don't think this is what he means with infinite scrolling. Afaik, infinite scrolling is like Facebook, which loads new (older, actually) posts when you get near the bottom of the page.
- vesinisa 12y agoMight be suitable for some contexts (like displaying a "feed" of individual items / search results / etc.), but then it's pivotal to provide users with an obvious way to hyperlink back to individual item. Think linking to one YouTube video (from your infinite "My subscriptions" list) or Facebook post (from your infinite feed). Most big sites seem to get this right, luckily.
