Just subscribed. Looks like there's some cool stuff coming through. But what really bugs me is that the links in the feed go to undrln.com and not directly to the site that the link's for. Making me click twice is not good. And we all know why they're doing it. Not for the subscriber, that's for sure.

The feed for HN has two links: one for the site in question, and one for the HN comments. I almost always go for the comments before looking at the site. That, for me, is the real value of HN, and (possibly) for undrln as well.

Agreed--that pisses me off too. That being said, this is only a problem with RSS readers. The site itself links directly to the post.

We are going to fix the RSS component, but chose to hold off on that until we saw how the uptake was. So far it looks promising. Nearly 7,000 uniques on the first day.

As for the clicking twice, there's no ulterior motive there. It’s just a limitation of Drigg that we're going to have to hack around.

Hm yeah. I hear you. Now I feel bad about suggesting an ulterior motive with the rss links - it's just it really strikes a nerve when I see that. Good luck hacking around - and good luck with the site.

Don't worry about it--I can see how one might think that we were just trying to increase clicks. That being said, once we have a moment, we'll certainly be fixing this.

Besides, I expect to be the site's most active user. The last thing I want is to be hampered by extra clicks. :-)
