Path laid off 13 staffers today, axing 20 percent of its workforce...
Path founder and CEO Dave Morin, who celebrated his 33rd birthday yesterday, has not responded to requests for comment.
Cmon Techcrunch, you should know that Path dude never answers his phone, it puts him on defense.

- nashequilibrium 13y agolol.... that honestly made me laugh. I never read the interview before but will make use of that line sometime. Regarding path, they need to boost numbers, so started exploiting peoples address books, when this worked they raised more money but those users where spammed and probably just deleted the app. The only thing i hear about path is the design, if you did a frequency distribution of word usage in path articles, it's about design. The funny thing is, i downloaded the app last year, then invited my wife to use it, she text me saying she didn't know how to use it and never did so i deleted it as well. Therefore the great design appealed to the tech inclined but to cross the chasm they needed familiar design like instagram & twitter.

- trimbo 13y agoWhy doesn't that guy post more often? He's hilarious!
- photorized 13y agoAlso in meetings all day and all night.
- dannyr 13y agoI wonder which phone Techcrunch called. They might have called his night phone this morning.
- adamnemecek 13y agoI'm surprised that so many people remember this.
- malandrew 13y agoIt was recently mentioned in another thread in the past few days so it is fresh in the minds of some.
- yapcguy 13y agoI bet Dave would take a call from Marissa Mayer. Yahoo are pretty good at paying over the odds for mutton dressed as lamb.
- prawn 13y agoDid they call his day phone or his night phone?
