I hate pagination. There you are, merrily scrolling though a list of something, when KLUNK! you get to the bottom of the page and have to click a link to get more of what you want. Fail!
What’s wrong with infinite scrolling? Get the with the Ajax! This is 2012 and we’re in what, web 3.0 by now? Google, I assume, have it because they are being evil with PageRank or something. But the rest of us have no excuse.
And while I’m ranting – what on earth is the point of a paginator that lets you jump from page 1 to some random page 268 of an unknown number? Again, pointless. Stop it.
