I personally use Path and love the "neighborhood" alerts which periodically post to Path "Nathan is in Downtown Austin", "Nathan is in Barton Hills, Austin", etc. This system is very elegant and seamless because it posts directly to the social feed without any effort.
From the landing page for the app I'm unsure of how this app works, or what purpose the shortlink serves. Why not make the app link to Facebook, Twitter and other social networks and just post neighborhood information automatically like Path does? (Or maybe if they have privacy concerns with the press of one button.) This would be much simpler, easy to explain, and would doubtlessly be well received by those whose social networking apps don't have this useful feature of Path built in.
- jeffmoby 14y agoYou are absolutely right. This is just our first version and we these are great tips. Thank you for your suggestions and we will improve in the next version. We wanted to get this out early so we can learn from all of you.
- kennystone 14y agoIt's not simple if your friends aren't already in your social network. The link will work for anyone you send it to.
- tomasien 14y agoI can try to extrapolate what I would use this for and what will happen when I share the link, but I'm unsure at best.
- saiko-chriskun 14y agoReally wish I had friends that used Path :/
- NathanKP 14y agoI'm really happy that my circle of closest friends all use Path. As a result Path is the social network I use for my best friends, and the other social networks are all the spammy stuff I don't really want to see anyway.
