I'm this * * close to being marked as spam among my friends all thanks to a little startup called Path. Introduced to me as "one of his favorites" by ER Accelerator mentor Jon Li from Buywithme.com. Path is what I was hoping for, for the last year or two. Best platform to share mobile images & you can only share your stream with 50 of your close friends.
Having been on facebook since waay back, I've given up on sharing photos a long time ago. Hence when I experienced the intimate, very romantic setting of Path I began using it instantly. Their app is close to perfection. Their graphics & layouts are exquisite. Everything was fantastic. And I was super pumped -ready to share away the deepest, most boring, corners of my days. Until I realized friends needed serious convincing to join. So I emailed, messaged, poked non-stop for 72 hours, successfully recruiting a couple. Who I'm pretty sure joined just to shut me up. And when I began harassing them to upload avatars they politely stopped responding to my emails. Fair enough. But it's so much better than using that dull grey box. But whatever.
Now despite the awkwardness created by my self-proclaimed & unpaid spokesmanship we have a tight little community on Path. And the other day when I noticed that there was a stranger, stalking and tagging me on random images, I knew I was home.
And correct, the above inbox is zero.
