I just tried it on Facebook, scrolling down, and down and down, and asking for more and more Facebook. I think I was able to scroll around 30 times before Facebook finally gave up serving me content.
And what does it feel like to do that on the internet. You get on a infinitely down scrolling page, and look at content. And aesthetically it is terrible. The further you scroll down the more it feels like you are being squished under a mountain of content, most of it that is meaningless and you skipped through.
The opposite case of the Facebook tower looming overhead is a blog. The newest story is always on the top, and if it is a blog that you like and visit fairly often, you only have to stay at the top of the content tower.
I guess the saving grace of Facebook is that new content does stream in from the top, meaning that for the new things that can drag you in, you just need to go back to the top of the giant tower.
Well there is another story to this tower.
