Caught in the sight of #valleywag - http://valleywag.gawker.com/tag/path http://valleywag.gawker.com/tag/path For the cynical it's a collective eyeroll.

  Those titles are so ridiculous, it makes Gawker look worse than Path.

Personal opinion, based on: - Lack of traction as evidenced by dismal ratings on the App Store compared to competitors - Supposed focus on international markets without clear commitment to establishing a presence there - HR troubles (as commenter linked to below) - Indication that money is being spent on paid installs by virtue of placing in the top 100 in Chad and Niger

How much are Path going to charge for their stickers? How many do they expect to sell? Average salary in Indonesia is $3420. http://data.worldbank.org/country/indonesia http://data.worldbank.org/country/indonesia

  A good estimate would be how much LINE has been able to charge for their stickers there.

    Here's some old numbers: http://thenextweb.com/asia/2013/03/07/path-3-0-inspired-by-asia/#!rYDPk http://thenextweb.com/asia/2013/03/07/path-3-0-inspired-by-a... Summary: low (if in USD, high if in local currency).

Because Path is almost certainly in a death spiral, based based on the layoffs and talent exodus. Because their CEO is Dave Morin, who hasn't done himself any favors by sounding like a huge douchebag [1]. Because they're a social media app on the wane, which is as good as a dead social media app. http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/my-phone/2013/03/dave-morin-path-facebook-apple?currentPage=all http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/my-phone/2013/03/dave-mori...

  That's kind of a shame. Path was one of the social networks that I didn't hate.
