I wonder if Path will end up being used as a model of what not to do for start-ups, there's been that many missteps that it's hard to separate the network from the issues. Overreaching use of customer data, check ("But everyone else was doing it!"), and then saying "it turned out the customers didn't understand this", spamming contacts, a CEO who come across as somewhat of an arse at multiple opportunities. If I was a VC I'd be so nervy about investing money in a business that's repeatedly getting caught out doing some seriously shady business practises.
