I think internal linking is usually annoying (TC), sometimes not (Mashable).
At blognation, we always link directly to the service or company website, occasionally to a previous article or one from another editor that adds context. But unlike TC, we only link to the company database (index) at the very bottom of a post.
Curious what you have to say about 'via' links. My opinion: they should always be there. Period.

We just sometimes get complaints that people want an in-article link, rather than [via sourcename]. On the other hand, if you do that, you sometimes get complaints that you are "burying" the source link in the story rather than making it more prominent by having it outside the article body in a [via] link. It's therefore impossible to please everyone.
