This can work. Just based on the 150 friend cap. You are in a way forced to choose your most active, friends. Those that you actually engage with via in person, email, Facebook messages, Skype etc., on a daily basis. There was an article floating around somewhere on the concept of having an application with only 7 or so friends and how would a user deal with this restriction. Path is in the right direction for this. Also as opposed to Facebook, since a normal user does not have "Life Events" every day, I like the fact that Path has the awake/sleep feature (no matter how trivial it sounds).
