This is one of the very few times that people are upvoting a Hacker News post <i>just for the purpose of snarking about it</i>.<p>Not that there's anything wrong with that (both Path and WP8 win from the exposure), but it's an interesting occurrence.
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.<p>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.<p>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.
