Give Path a shot.
It’s one of those apps which I’ve been hearing about for a while but resisted trying for some reason. And it’s definitely one of those apps which made me wonder why I had resisted, since it’s absolutely amazing.
Path is like a combination of Facebook, Twitter and FourSquare, except, it is exclusively for the people closest to you. I can see Path being used amongst a very close set of friends who’d like to be updated with what the other is doing very often but I see the value in keeping in much closer touch with loved ones elsewhere.
Why do I use Path? Because staying connected is all about knowing the small details and Path enables me to do that.
How do I use Path? I’ve been using it for the past couple of weeks now and have been loving it. I love checking in to various places, ranting/venting out frustrations, sharing photos of cool places I’ve been to, sharing music I’m listening to, uploading short video updates.
In theory, you could use Facebook, Twitter etc to do these things but I’m not sure if you’ll enjoy sharing the same things you share with your family as you would with 500 friends.
A great app. And a must if your parents/best friend/girl friend/boy friend are far away and you want to stay in close touch. It’s also great if you travel often, as the screenshot above shows.And if your loved ones don’t have a smartphone, it’s one of those apps that makes buying one for them completely worth it.
That’s saying something.
Enjoy Friday folks!
