Man, some people really don't like Path. I saw people making similar comments when they raised some cash a while back. A high school friend of mine works there, so I'm curious... why all the hate? Seems like an okay idea to want to have all of your social media type stuff in one place, right? I don't use it, though. And I don't see what their business plan could be. Seems weird to actively hate it, though.
A lot of the enmity stems from a widely-ridiculed interview with the founder in Vanity Fair, and a feeling that he (and by extension his company) encapsulates much of what's wrong with Silicon Valley. Personally, I think he's been turned into a bit of a scapegoat, and Path is certainly no Color (whatever issues it may have with growth).
They had huge issues with privacy (capturing people's phonebooks), further issues with privacy (text-spamming all your contacts to sign up without telling you about it), horrible attempts at driving usage (https://twitter.com/kivestu/status/372443505462763520/photo/...), and the CEO is an insufferable egotist.
The policy of China favours agriculture more than all other employments.
In China, the condition of a labourer is said to be as much superior to
that of an artificer, as in most parts of Europe that of an artificer is
to that of a labourer. In China, the great ambition of every man is to

To be very honest i would love to use Path because i am sick and tired of facebook and dont really use it that much but the thing is none of my friends use Path. And this is probably the single most important reason people dont use Path.
They since passed the acquisition offer, they have only few two choices left go under or reinvent themselves just like few of the other social networks are doing like myspace. Venture money doesnt really proves a point that a business is healthy so i am not sure Path will be a money making business in the future.
What i really like is a location based social network where i can socialize with people i don't really know, or maybe a interest based social network. i will go with the former. The point is they HAVE to reinvent themselves before this VC money goes out.
I don't use Path, but I do use Windows Phone (Lumia 1020) as one of my two main phones (the other being a Moto X). And I definitely exist, so there's one...
You're not alone. I got a Lumia 920 the day it came out, as my main phone. It still has a little bit to go to be a full-fledged competitor to iOS or Android, but I don't know if I could go back to using an iPhone. I'm so used to live tiles, the back button, and the navigation apps that it would be hard to go back.

So, for the record. I think this is great. I'm also a WP8 user.
Apparently it was "common practice", and I know how valuable that data can be to a social network in progress, but still a pretty bad move, I think.
It's very pretty, though.

Not that there's anything wrong with that (both Path and WP8 win from the exposure), but it's an interesting occurrence.
