Path – Record each moment of your life

What do you do when you want to record every bit of your and your dear one's life and share only those which you think is best suited to share?

This is where Path comes in (www.path.com). I have been using Path since a long time and I record every moment of my life including when I sleep and when I am awake in Path. All my fuel expenses, ODO readings, where I am and why I am there are all recorded and the best thing is I share only those which I think is necessary to share. All other activities are private to me and my family and my diaries are private to myself. I have also noted each movie I have seen. You can only have 50 people inside your network. 

In India, Path is not gaining the momentum it is gaining in the western world because we are obsessed with Facebook. We do not have the sensibility of privacy and we tend to share everything publicly. Worldwide it has more than 20 mn users and these numbers are awesome for a company which competes with the like of Facebook and Tumblr.

Available for Android, iPhone and iPad, this is a wonderful App that doesnt allow you to operate on web. You have to do everything on your mobile only. Why it is different from Facebook or Twitter? This is because it gives you the flexibility of privacy.

Now the new Path update comes with Premium subscription. It allows you to create an inner circle. It has also introduced a new feature called ‘Private Sharing’ which allows Path Users to select one friend or a number of friends that they wish to broadcast moments to. Those moments will appear in other users’ feeds with a lock in the upper right-hand corner designating that it was privately shared.

Imagine you have recorded every part of your life for a decade and after a decade imagine the feel of looking back at your life with each moment. This is where Path scores and Facebook fails.

You expect more from Path – especially for premium subscribers as it is in the process of raising up to $50 million more after total of $41 million from investors such as Redpoint, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Index Ventures, First Round Capital, Digital Garage, CrunchFund*, Jerry Murdock, Mark Pincus, Yuri Milner, Allen & Company, Greylock Partners, and other angels. Moreover it is opening its API to partner with content managers to bring more value.
