This post by Sam Brown on Twitter earlier today got me thinking. Sure it’s easy to say “There is no fold” but could modern browsers help the fold make a come back? (shiver)

A lot of modern browsers seem to be adding a feature where users can see a snapshot of selected websites upon opening there browsers. Safari call it top sites, Opera Speed Dial and google Most visited. This new feature is great for quickly scanning websites to see if they have been updated but they reintroduce the fold, only showing the top area of the page without a scroll bar. If the big players in the browser market Internet Explorer and FireFox introduce such a feature maybe the fold could rise from the dead?
