  Thanks, noticing an increase in Facebook posts to HN, not loving it!

    Yes, it would be nice if HN stopped just having a link to another site as the article, and instead had a little abstract of what you're going to see there. In the case of links to (un)popular sites (is there a version of 'infamous' for stuff that's popular but sucks?) enough text so that it's possible to search for alternative/original sources would be just swell.

      That would piss off the content creators no doubt. Let people have the traffic for the content they create. dang et al do an amazing job of fixing links when needed and getting rid of blog spam. Banning FB outright isn't necessary because it's not always reposted elsewhere and is far too popular. Despite still having an awful long-form reading UI/UX despite years of designs and a focus on 'groups'...

  Thank you. If you ask me, the post's url should be changed to this. A lot of us don't have Facebook and block all FB connections.

  THANK YOU! I just lost a good 20 minutes reading through that blog, and I just bought the book! And ... I downloaded Karateka on my iPhone.

  This should be the URL posted, not anything on Facebook
