Example 1 with the `posts/` prefix for canonical url.

Even with that canonical url, you can still provide your own url shortening service a la example 3. Given the choice, I'd slightly prefer using a first party shortener that maps a single shortened link per piece of content versus third party one creating a shortened link per share.

year/month prefix is useful to readers if the content becomes stale quickly.
