Funny, in my head the meaning of those was always inverted:

- via, means which way you passed "through" before getting the information. It's the site/blog/curator that sent you to the original…

- source, is the source of the information on the internet. Sometimes information comes from non-public press statements, real world interviews, or other media. But the website that publishes the information, is IMHO the one deserving the "source" link (and the only one to which we can effectively link).
