I just read We don't need no Pagination, which describes a technique to replace the read more of a page with an automatic page loader for the next section. I think this could easily be done in Drupal, maybe as a plug-in for Views and teasers.
As a start, I could easily envision teasers automatically loading the rest of the content on mouse hover. Or a page view loading the next batch of results when scrolled to the bottom. Probably other uses as well, although they might be more theme/site specific.
Is there already something that does this? If not, I'll probably start a new project for it. Maybe something like Automatic Page Loader or something...

there are some JS autopagers at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7623 and http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8551 that you might want to look at
Yahoo! TV
Yahoo! TV used to do this, but the request time was so long and didn't make for a good user experience. I don't believe we'll have the same issues with Drupal because of the brilliant programmers involved.
Something to get you
Something to get you started:
A jquery implementation of infinite scrolling
Perfect!
Thanks for the jump start! I'm sketching out a planned workflow, and will investigate what's already available for Drupal.
And I just discovered...
...Google Reader does this as well. Learn something new every day...
