Well I hope he has real faith in the company and the product, rather than it being a case of "OK, guys you've had a couple of months to play around with this idea, now let me acquire you for pocket change, and get your devs working on Path, the _real_ winner."
Late is a relative term, just because they weren't the first does not mean they can't succeed. I'm sure you can think of plenty of examples for products that were not first but succeeded or even overshadowed their counterparts. It's all about the execution.
Seems like one summer to late if you would of released it in the summer you could of been path or pair because it's a combination of both. Seems like a lesson learned maybe sometime it's ok you just release a app instead of waiting until you feel like it's perfect.

Who are the Affiliates, and what are the legal implications of a so-called perpetual, indefinite license?
It's not that I'm assuming that they're up to no good, I just don't like registering for a site I barely have any good description and introduction for - especially since Apple probably haven't patched the whole address book thing yet.
I'm sold, it's a mix of Path/Pair and I like the design of the app. However the problem is that I would need to convince my friends to use the App as well. I hope this takes off, I really do the Everyme team did a great job and I wish them the best!
Footnote: I don't really take issue with this being an iPhone exclusive for now. Getting to market is the most important thing, and I commend the team for making sure they got the app and the experience right in one environment, rather than trying to attack them all at once.
this is way too complicated for mainstream users. didn't g+ prove that the circle designs while elegant really didn't take off at all?
plus I hate their automatic lists, they're ridiculous and don't match my real-life "lists" at all.
in zuckerberg's terms, nobody wants to make (nor maintain) lists, whether you call them circles or groups or whatever. Who the hell is going to spend hours refining their circles except from super privacy conscious hipsterhackers of the SV? I bet most people would rather go back to the ol'good plain dumbphone address book.
If I have to convince my friends to use this it's not going to work. Spamming my family and coworkers with unsolicited email notifications is not a solution.
So it's a mix of Path and Pair and Google Plus and a few other things probably. I'm all for trying but how many social networks are we really going to have. I was hopeful for Path but I can't seem to sell any of my friends on it

with that said it is visually very appealing
