Manually reconstructed Bridgy URLs redirect to silos

Filed an Issue snarfed/bridgy (GitHub)

Bridgy pulls comments and likes from social networks back to your web site. You can also use it to publish your posts to those networks.

Example: /> redirects to
Separately, though related, the example in the documentation for Instagram no longer seems to exist and could be replaced and the example for Google+ could be removed as the service no longer exists.
