I had posted a post titled No paging = happier users suggesting leaving all content for example search results in one page other than separating it in pages.
Yesterday Molly the lead of the WaSP and one of the well know experts, has posted a post titled No More Next Page: Embracing the Non-Linear Web talking about the same subject and linking to an article she wrote since July, 2001 titled freedom in structure she also pointed to a post titled Endless Pageless: No More Next Page by Pete Forde he suggests great techniques that could be applied using AJAX that loads some of the remaining content once you get near with your scroll bar to the bottom of the page that you might not notice unless you scrolled to the bottom quickly you will see the message more posts are being loaded...
humanized reader is an example similar to what Pete Forde suggested.
But I still don't know why the need of that why don't you let it all load while the user is checking the first lines?
