Path app aims to make a social network more personal
Interested in sharing more personal moments of life to a small group of friends rather than a large network? An app called Path could help.Originally conceived as a way to post photos and videos for close family and friends to see, the app was re-released this month as a “smart journal” to enable users to share more about their lives.“Because Path is a smaller network that’s built for the people you love — the closest friends and family in your life — people are willing to share more intimate content as a result of that,” said Matt Van Horn, a vice president at Path.He added that although some of details of life might seem mundane when broadcast to the masses, they can take on a newlight when shared with closer connections.“Taking a photo on the porch with your sister if you were to post to a larger network might not be that interesting. But if your mom, who is on the other side of the country, sees it then it’s magical,” he said.The app also learns a user’s habits, such as favorite places, and can recognize deviations in patterns and broadcast them to their ‘path’, the social stream visible to a user’s connections.
