c.notify.me redirection
Just a question.
Is it mandatory that the link in each notify.me email notification uses a shortlink on c.notify.me?
Is it not possible to go directly to the original url in feed item?
Thanks for your attention.

Inappropriate?Some of the destinations we deliver to have limited character space so we just shorten all our links.

Hi Jason, let me explain my case.
For some of my tasks I use notify.me together with yahoo pipes. I build an rss feed from the email notification messages that your wonderful service send to me. Then, I parse and analyse all the items in such a feed to retrieve some informations from the source pages, and finally I get again email alerts via notify.me .
Having the original link in your notifications would make my task easier. But this is not the main concern from your point of view.
Parsing periodically the feed implies that dozens, hundreds of time a spider calls some c.notify.me pages to retrieve the source page addresses. Is this able to stress your servers?
In other words, I am a bit worried about the sustainableness of my behaviour. That is, I want to be sure to not abuse of your very useful service. Of course, if you allow users to maintain the original link in place of the c.notify.me redirection, as an option, all the problems will disappear... :)
