Brad Enslen is doing some great work over at Micro.blog, spreading the word about this innovative service. He published a post titled “The Case for Moving Your Social Network to Micro.blog“, that’s pretty self-explanatory. I think there’s certainly merit in shifting your social network over to something like Micro.blog, in the near term at least. […]

Dear @Path – an open letter
Dear Path team According to my Path profile, I have been a Path user for 2 years and have shared a mere 833 moments. I’ve been thinking about Path quite a bit in the last few months and why it stands out as a better social sharing option, in theory. I have a couple friends […]
Path is the better personal network you've been waiting for

Focus on smaller and better quality and use it better

Are you on Path?
I read a Path 2.0 review on GigaOm’s theAppleBlog this morning and installed the app on my iPhone. So what is Path? According to Colleen Taylor writing about the app’s launch for GigaOm: Path 2 aims to be a “smart journal” that catalogs all the big and small moments of your daily life. Along with […]
