I can't resent anyone for looking to make money, but it seems like the problem they're trying to solve is that they don't have enough money in their pockets. If the focus was on solving an actual real-world problem, and building on a pre-existing platform solved that problem, they wouldn't hesitate to do that. You can build a feature or a business. It seems like Path is choosing to build a feature and hoping to make a business out of it. That can work, but it's tough. They make great looking products, so hopefully that focus on design influences their competitors, who will likely be around much longer.
