I and my friends share share blog posts from various famous blogs to share common interests and interact with each other. Its a regular practice of my to read posts in blogs and share them in facebook for my friends.

User story:
As an user I should be able to view posts which are shared by my facebook friends, in my facebook news feed. When I click on post link it take me to browser which navigate me to that blog post page.

User expectation:
After I click on post link in my facebook news feed I expect it to open in respected application installed in my phone. For example, Business insider blog post should open in installed application of BI android in my phone. But it takes me to browser and then to that link.
