 I've been using the activity stream a lot to browse through contributors'
 activity. What I want to do is see a contributor's activity and then click
 on it to find out more.

 The problem that I experience is that I invariably end up clicking on the
 link to the top level site rather than the specific user activity.

 Here's an example:

 In the example, both the "comment" and #24497 links, have less prominent
 links than the links to the site that the activity has taken place on. I
 want to see the specific activity, but I find myself automatically
 clicking on the link to the site. This is frustrating.

 I suggest removing the link to the site where the activity takes place and
 retaining only the link to the activity. The context of someone viewing an
 activity is to learn about specific activities, therefore the link to the
 website feels redundant. Besides, if they go to the activity they're taken
 to the parent site anyway.
