R-bloggers is an aggregator. Should link directly to the original.

  Should link directly to the original. Why? Is it that hard to click through on a link? I stumbled across the article on r-bloggers, found it interesting, and submitted the link. Why should I worry about putting in the work to make sure people wind up on one site instead of another?

    Just seeing your comment now, and I should have explained better. R-Bloggers is a great aggregator for R-related topics and I look at it every day. But it jams all the posts into its own text-heavy format, so you should click through to the original to get the full post formatted as the author intended. Again, R-Bloggers is great for finding blog posts of interest, but once you find something interesting, then you should go to the original.
