Google, Google. Stop crying. Just continue copying Bing. Infinite scroll images. And large image backgrounds on the search page. Copy the Maps features, too.


I boggle that people think infinite scroll came from (X). People have been hacking infinite scroll onto pages that don't support it for years, frequently through Greasemonkey scripts and there are a few very powerful extensions for essentially every browser out there. If you want to claim Google copied it from Bing, Bing copied it from creative users. I highly doubt there has been any significant amount (if any at all) of UI/UX original-creativity on any large website before someone else made a quick demo on their personal site or hacked it on top of existing sites through browsing tools.
