Why do you link to Sphinn posts and not the original blog post or articles? (in the search recap section) It's kind of annoying.

I would understand if there was a relevant conversation going on but you guys have been linking to submitted stories on Sphinn with NO comments. It would be much better if you just linked out to the source.

Thanks.

I run both "cap" articles at Search Engine Roundtable and Search Engine Land. Search Engine Land links to blog posts and news articles directly, it is a news coverage site. Search Engine Roundtable specifically covers forum discussion and that is why I link to the Sphinn articles here. SER covers discussion, it is in our mission statement.

So I do often link to both the blog post and the thread - but at different sites.
