The infinite scroll is a web design technique that prevents the browser scroll bar from scrolling to the bottom of the page, causing the page to grow with additional content instead (Wikipedia). Instead of using pagination to display large feed of data, web designers use this effect to automatically load the next or previous data as soon as the user scrolls down to bottom of the page. Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr are the most popular examples of social media websites that implemented the use of infinite scrolling effect.
