Top 4 landmarks in America

How could #big ben possibly be "oddly named" when there's a Wikipedia entry for it?

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London[1] and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower.

That's like saying #wimbledon is "oddly named" because the real name of the tournament is the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Championships. Nobody is confused when it is simply called "Wimbledon."

Empire State Building
Statue of Liberty
Golden Gate Bridge
Mt Rushmore

I would say Niagara Falls too, but that's equally, if not moreso a Canada landmark too.

True, but especially in the case of Instagram, the data can be very misleading.

Besides all the flaws previously mentioned, we all know(n) those that tag everything to their posts. Walking through Central Park now gets hashtags for everything NYC. For those not familiar with Instagram all you need to do is look at any of the top ones listed a few posts back. #magickingdom is probably the worst? It can be anything from your 5 year old kid’s drawing of Mickey Mouse, you eating ice cream in what we assume is Disneyworld because you’re wearing Minnie’s scalp, or even just packing for your trip in your house.
