I struggle with our feed on BC, as it's not actionable and very rarely is a post so self-contained, it's entirely useful on its own. There's often a link, a video, call to action etc that we are currently just killing, as our feed links nowhere.

I believe it's pretty straightforward to deep link (to the exact feed item) on the FB and Twitter side-- this seems like a lot more useful/user-friendly/expected behavior. Nofollow the link and have it open in a new window, and perhaps just link an icon (like a 'right arrow') or the list item itself (show a different color onhover so it suggests to the user it's clickable) instead of the entire text being in an link as that's not good for SEO, layout, or usability.
