Ask HN: Maybe direct newsycombinator tweets to comments page?

1 pointsby melonakosover 12 years ago
Can we convince @pg to redirect @newsycombinator tweets to go to the comments page rather than directly to the article? Reasons why:<p>1) Current path to comments page is inconvenient: click tweet -&#62; go to article -&#62; copy article title -&#62; open new tab -&#62; go to news.ycombinator.com -&#62; ctrl-F -&#62; search for article title -&#62; click the little comments link under article title (all nearly impossible from mobile browser)<p>2) Only downside is one extra click to get to article: click tweet -&#62; click article title on comments page<p>3) Comments are often more interesting than article itself<p>4) More traffic to the comments would grow the community and drive even more interesting discussion<p>Another option is to provide two links in each tweet. I think that is an uglier option than the beauty of the simple "title, link" format currently in use.<p>Startup-mindedness involves realizing when there are annoyances in life that could be solved. For me, I find it annoying to get to the HN comments page from HN tweets.<p>What do you think? Are there other upsides/downsides?
