Bangladeshi Flag On The Google Maps Of Mt. Aconcagua?

While reading a news about “Google’s Stunning Street Views From the Top of the World” at Wired, I just find out Bangladeshi Flag in “Aconcagua Summit, Mendoza, Argentina”.

[External] Facebook Sharing & Engagement Is Not Free Anymore

Nick Bilton wrote an article on NYT Bits how Facebook engagement dropped, and works only when you pay. It’s a shame. I also have same kind of result. And I also did test.

So Facebook sharing is not as free as it were year ago.
