It's not just web sites that do this. When you open the Twitter client on Android, for example, it'll go to the top of your feed instead of to the tweet that you read last, forcing you to scroll down, reading tweets until you find one that you've seen before.

Well I wasn't even talking about syncing across devices but yea - that Twitter behavior pisses me off. They also show me the same unread notifications on every device. The frustrating thing is that I know how easy it would be to fix.

I agree with you. I'd refine it further by eliminating all instances of "1,2,single page". If it's only two pages, just go straight to single page and don't force me to deal with something that's effectively a non-issue.

Yea - I always wondered why they even bother splitting a 2 pager into 2 pages.

I really like the trend of single page long form content now though. NPR does a great job of it that makes it a much more engaging experience - http://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/

They also don't have to worry about ad revenue though.
