How do they achieve these effect

There are two effects that I have seen on website and keep wondering how they have been achieved.  The first is when you go on Facebook and you type a link into your status bar.  Then Facebook will automatically get some information about that article.  The second effect is something I have seen on twitter and other websites.  If you scroll down to the bottom of the page it will detect this and then load more content. 

 

If anyone could link me to any article or tutorials explain how these effects have been done that would be great. 

 

Thanks for any help.

The first is a screen scraper.

 

The second is done with javascript that simply detects your visible screen area and loads more content when you get close to the bottom.

 

I'm not sure of any articles, but neither would be too difficult to implement.
