RSS Feed format issue

I use the EasySocial Stream RSS feed to post to Facebook and Twitter using either dlvr.it or hoostsuite, this is a very easy way to post to multiple social media streams and avoids issues with duplicate content and dedicated Facebook / Twitter scripts for each aspect of the site. I previously did the same with JomSocial with no issues.

I have found that with EasySocial there is an issue with the RSS format. Whilst the RSS format is compliant, the actual content doesn't follow the W3C RSS specification

The problem is that the item link does not link directly to the item but instead links to the stream item instead.

Eg rather than linking to events/my-event the link links to stream/item/my-event

This means that when the aggregation services scrape the item URL in the feed for information such as images they pull the image from the stream item and not the actual item itself. This means that the wrong image is displayed and the wrong data linked to.

In fact if you click on the link in the RSS feed it takes you to a nonsense stream item.

I propose that the stream/item/my-event link is replaced with the actual item link as per W3C RSS outline...

If this is not a change that you wish to make, where can I make these changes?
