(I’m not sure if this issue depends on NewsBlur or on the feeds itself. I think it’s a minor issue anyway)
When sharing (via email or Twitter) an item, the URL being shared is usually a direct link to the the destination article.
Sometimes, however, the URL being shared is just a redirection.
I’d prefer to share the original article URLs.
Some reasons:
- they’re easier to read
- they may be (or be perceived as) safer to open
- they’re faster
- they’re more elegant
Compare the following URLs - the former redirects to the latter:
http://feeds.theguardian.com/c/34708/…
redirects to
http://www.theguardian.com/technology…
And here’s a couple of feeds whose items are redirections instead of direct links:
http://feeds.theguardian.com/theguard…
http://feeds.theguardian.com/theguard…
So, would it be possible to forcibly include the original article URL instead of the redirecting one?
