You link off to some blog posts as being 20% of your inspiration for writing the posts, but they're behind bit.ly redirects. Now I can't tell if I've read those before without actually clicking on the link, which is rather annoying. What's the reason for this?
- thejosh 13y agoLazy way of tracking clicks, I guess?
- jonathanmarvens 13y agoSorry about this actually. I have an extension that automatically does the bit.ly redirects on CTRL+C. I will update the post with the expanded URLs.
- wcdolphin 13y agoThe links are also very vaguely related to the topic. If there is a point which can be made using links, typically the text of the anchor tag should tell part of the story.
- 1123581321 13y agoI'm glad the author is changing the URLs. In the meantime, there is a Chrome extension to automatically expand shortener URLs to the real link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/knowurl-expand-tiny-short/jedbdfjojhbladdiccmdejgebfalbpdl/reviews?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/knowurl-expand-tin...
- jonathanmarvens 13y agoI've updated the URLs. Sorry about that.
- bennyg 13y agoDon't know if anyone else will tell you, but thanks for doing that.
- jonathanmarvens 13y agoYou're welcome. [:)].
