Boston Globe Links to A Website Online, But Not in the Print Edition

I'm happy to see the Boston Globe linking to a website that's featured in an article.

City Hall unveils StartHub ‘homepage’ for startups, partnering with IBM:

City Hall’s plan to attract and support startups is getting some more firepower.

On Tuesday, Mayor Martin J. Walsh unveiled StartHub, a website designed to serve as a homepage for technology entrepreneurs in Boston.

StartHub will feature information about the city’s technology scene, including a list of incubators and co-working offices, events calendar, industry news, and “a curated stream” of Boston-based companies and investors.

But when the article is printed in the newspaper, it needs to print the URL too, http://www.starthub.org

2016 Democratic Presidential Primary Debate - CNN ONLINE FACEBOOK POLL RESULTS are still online

Some sites are reporting that CNN took down their online Facebook poll results from the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary Debate.

I can't tell if they were taken down at some point, but they are up now.

You can see the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary - CNN FACEBOOK POLL RESULTS here: http://cnn.com/vote.

When I was watching the debate, I was looking for the Facebook integration. All I saw was the hashtag #DEMDEBATE, and followed it on twitter.

I had no idea that I was supposed to go to the CNN Facebook page to interact in real time. Did they publicize that?

Did you know?

Did you vote in the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary Debate - CNN ONLINE FACEBOOK POLL?

UPDATE:
Sorry, Bernie fans: The polls are coming in, and it looks like Clinton won the debate
