The company has done nothing to really change my mind. Path’s unique selling proposition is that it allows you to share photos privately with 50 of your close contacts – friends and family so to speak. Since their initial launch, the company has launched ability to share 10-second video clips.

Thanks for the comment. It sums up the entire issue with Path pretty well. It would be interesting to see how it shakes out for these guys, but I am not holding my breath.

+1 to what you say and yes this is as insular as you can get and the lack of critical response only tells it. Not a single person has been able to call it for what it is — a rebel without a cause
