Page Flip or Infinite scroll, Which do You Prefer?


When searching Twitter, Pinterest, or many other famous websites recently, we may notice that they have changed the traditional page flipping mode into infinite scrolling. This infinite scrolling technology, which can load more pages without clicking buttons to jump to the next page, can show more results automatically. It do not like the traditional “preview 3 4 next” page mode. The websites that use the infinite mode usually have a very nice user interface function, and they alert users that more pages are loading.


Which do you prefer, Page flip or infinite scroll?

Someone may hate page, since page detracts from our reading speed and comprehension by breaking sentences and paragraphs in the middle. Most websites break their contents into pages so that they get more page views and advertising for the same amount of content. It is popular in traditional media, such as Google search. Scrolling is not always pleasant. That's why most websites break down their contents into pages without containing one long page.

Someone may consider that forcing a user to drag a finger to initiate a flip every time is unacceptable. Web pages scroll because they are designed to appear on so many different screens, each with a different resolution and size, and the content on each page varies greatly, even on the same site. They have to cater to a large audience and work well with vastly different contents, thus scrolling is an ingenious compromise. However, infinite scrolling is only available for the contents that have just plain texts, such as tweets in Twitter.

Page flip is fast without worrying the time of further pages reloading. While scrolling interface usually runs slowly and unstably. And if the document or sites contains hundreds of pages, we’ll never know where will be the end. And it may similar to be a PDF viewer. Then who would have interest in it?

page flip

Page flipping was common on news sites 10 years ago but has all disappeared now. Yet it still is the main mode in iBooks on iPad and Kindle, as if they were made by the flipbook creator. Will it be welcomed if the eBooks on iPad or Kindle are viewed by infinite scrolling, instead of page flipping? Then, a book will be easy to be turned to the last page without worrying about flipping with fingers.

Personally, I would go for page flip for e-books but scrolling seems to be more "natural" when it comes to reading magazines or promotional folders. And I think the ideal interface allows users to change how they read text - page by page, manual, or automatic scrolling.

3 Apple Apps I Like the Best

I've played iPad for long time and was amazed by the numerous apps in the store. I downloaded many apps I interested in and also deleted some after short term experience. Yet there are also many apps that I kept them all the way and would like to play them almost every day. They are free and very good to use. I'm not an advertiser for the apps but I would like to share them with you whether you know it or not.

1- Pinterest
Pinterest is an app recommended from my friend. She spoke highly of the app. So I clicked it in the computer firstly, and then I was lost in it for long time.



I downloaded the app immediately and revisit it often. I'm sure almost all visitors who came to Pinterest will be impressed by the whole contents, so beautiful and well-organized. Everything related to our daily life will be found in it, telling us that life can be so exciting like these!

As the official site described, Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. It lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find in your life. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.

2- Flipboard
Flipboard is reviewed positively by Apple and was rated as the application Apple's iPad App of the Year in 2010. This tells us how amazing and unusual this app can be.



Flipboard is a digital magazine, and it is more than that. It collects the content of social media and other websites and presents it in magazine format and allows users to "flip" through their social-networking feeds and other websites.

Differentiate to the iBooks; the magazine is flipped vertically, which give users a fresh experience of reading. What's more, the contents of the magazines are subscribed according to the users' interesting, ranging from Travel, News, Design, and Music, Celebrities etc. to other social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter contents. And you can view them in details by flipping each board. You see information can be shared in such wonderful fashion!

Though there are many methods to create digital flipping publications with some digital magazine software, Flipboard is an app beyond those tools' reach. The customization access to interesting information in such an unusual fashion is the reason to success in my opinion.

3- Draw Something
Draw something is the most popular app now and it emerged only two weeks. The game was downloaded 20 million times in the first five weeks after its launching.



This game is so fresh that it is not only a layout for users to show the ability to draw as well as offer us a chance to guess what the pictures name is, no matter you know the drawers or not. The app is connected with other social media to let you show the results. That's also explaining why the app gains so great fame and attention till now.

Welcome to recommend your wonderful apps to me!
