would enjoy doing coffee. let me know when you are in town. i recommend un-friending those folks and recruiting your family. i promise if you get your family on, you will really love it as a personal space for trusted sharing.

that's cool. we'll keep going and hope to win you as a user at some point :) appreciate your feedback.

thanks for posting. here to answer any questions if you guys have them.

we're not sure who was first, but we believe it is a new and important use case on the mobile internet. reducing what used to take 10 or more messages down into a single click. as far as i know, emoji was invented in japan, popularized by apple, and stickers have been popularized by many of the experiences in asian markets.

path was designed to be a deeply personal social experience. if you take the time to recruit 8 people it will be a great experience for you. i usually recommend that people start with their family first, as the core use case we tend to serve is families wanting to stay closer.

this was a pretty important part of the utility we were working towards. both with one-click location, and with stickers, we wanted to create one-click utilities that reduce what used to be 10 messages down to one.

our core use case is families who love using path to share privately. we also have a large set of users who are sophisticated quality and privacy-conscious internet users, who have tried every social system over time, and are looking for a high quality, premium, guaranteed private social experience. there are a few other random use cases, like users who use it for an enterprise case of sharing within a company, but those are fairly small.

It is actually that women maintain slightly more relationships at every level of trust. The standard levels are: 5, 15, 50, and 150. Women tend to do around 8, 18, 80, 180. It is fairly fascinating research. Let me know if you guys have any other questions, love talking through this stuff.

Thank you for the kind words here as well. We put a lot of thought into this one. More to come.

We should probably have made this a requirement. I'll push a change now :) Also, thank you for the kind words on this. We think it is an important part of the responsibilities for this post at Path.
