Perhaps close isn’t the right word to use. People whom you are connected directly with on Path are those whom you don’t mind sharing things with. They’re the non judgmental people, those who understand the things you go through. You may not hang out with them all the time but they are the ones you are most comfortable with.
Path is not a smooth sailing boat. Over the last year, it has gone through numerous operational issues, downtimes, error-laden days, unsolved bugs, and so on. Weekends seem to be Path’s worst days in which the network tend to be inaccessible far longer and more frequently than other days. There are times when Path simply refuses to load the update stream or refuses to post your updates. Sometimes you can only scroll back to a few days ago instead of weeks or months. The recently implemented search feature also has its downtime every now and then.
Despite all these issues, people are sticking to Path. TeknoJurnal co-founder Putra Setia Utama said Path is like that gorgeous girlfriend that you keep despite her obvious flaws. Path is indeed gorgeous. It’s meticulously designed, does exactly what you want it to do, and it gives you an amazing personal experience. It’s almost the perfect social network. If only it does private messaging.
