- dr_ 14y agoI use Path regularly to stay in touch with my close friends I think the interface is beautiful. My Facebook has a ton of people on it, including many relatives whom I feel bad turning down but basically do nothing but share quotations and cute animal pics. I use couple to communicate with my fiancé and I use medigram for work. I've found it useful to actually separate groups of people into different apps, be it personal or coworkers, since each app is tailored to how i would like to share information with those people. Also makes it easier to go back and find previous messages from a certain individual.
- creativityland 14y agoThe question is though, do your close friends use the app?
- dr_ 14y agoYea, they do
- davemorin 14y agoour core use case is families who love using path to share privately. we also have a large set of users who are sophisticated quality and privacy-conscious internet users, who have tried every social system over time, and are looking for a high quality, premium, guaranteed private social experience. there are a few other random use cases, like users who use it for an enterprise case of sharing within a company, but those are fairly small.
- fakeer 14y ago>>who are sophisticated quality and privacy-conscious internet users Well, then.. you just said it :-)

- brianbreslin 14y agoI think when I signed up originally, used it for a while, then didn't get quite ENOUGH people on it to keep my interest. It became dominated by a handful of "oversharers". None of my close friends I wanted to use it with, ever did. Its a beautiful product, don't get me wrong. Just metcalfe's law didn't work for me here. kudos for replying dave. next time I'm in the bay area, would be happy to grab a beer and discuss how I used path vs other socNets.
- davemorin 14y agowould enjoy doing coffee. let me know when you are in town. i recommend un-friending those folks and recruiting your family. i promise if you get your family on, you will really love it as a personal space for trusted sharing.
