News Apps: broken link under Meta

I submitted a pull request. Sorry for the duplication.

---

The link to "social media tags" has changed (I'm guessing).

OLD:
https://github.com/propublica/guides/blob/master/social-tags.md

NEW:
https://github.com/propublica/guides/blob/master/social-tags.html

The link to histagram.me is wrong

Broken link to stock market treemap

In the Treemaps section of the Propublica data style guide, and also at the bottom of the Charts section, it looks like this link is broken:
http://www.smartmoney.com/map-of-the-market/

Link support for js comment in manifesto

"In JavaScript, prefer events that other objects can subscribe to over direct method calls, when possible."

I WANT TO KNOW MORE. (Would love a background link in this spot.)
