So, what is Path?<\/strong><\/p>\n Path is the personal network. \u00a0A place to be yourself and share life with close friends and family. The personal network doesn\u2019t replace your existing social networks \u2013 it augments them.<\/em><\/p>\n Path allows you to capture your life\u2019s most personal moments and share them with the 50 close friends and family in your life who matter most.<\/p>\n Because your personal network is limited to your 50 closest friends and family, you can always trust that you can post any moment, no matter how personal. Path is a place where you can be yourself<\/em>.<\/p>\n Capturing<\/strong><\/p>\n Capturing a moment on Path is simple and contextual. Simply take a photo with your camera on iPhone and add context around that moment in the form of tags for people, places and things.\u00a0 These tags provide 3 types of context which we think help capture a moment.<\/p>\n Think of it as a place for the memories along your path through life.<\/p>\n Sharing<\/strong><\/p>\n On Path, you always control who you are sharing your personal moments with. We know that if you are sharing with a single person you do not trust, you will not feel comfortable sharing. So we\u2019ve build the personal network model to keep you in control, always.<\/p>\n We chose 50 based on the research of Oxford Professor of Evolutionary Psychology Robin Dunbar, who has long suggested that 150 is the maximum number of social relationships that the human brain can sustain at any given time.\u00a0 Dunbar\u2019s research also shows that personal relationships tend to expand in factors of roughly 3. So while we may have 5 people whom we consider to be our closest friends, and 20 whom we maintain regular contact with, 50 is roughly the outer boundary of our personal networks. These are the people we trust, whom we are building trust with, and whom we consider to be the most important and valued people in our lives.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll help you find those close friends on Path, and we\u2019ll help you share with those who aren\u2019t yet on Path.<\/p>\n No following, no friending\u2026just sharing with the people who matter most.<\/p>\n Seeing<\/strong><\/p>\n Because Path is a personal network, we will always seek to build features which increase meaning and understanding between close friends.<\/p>\n To this tune, we\u2019ve built an innovative new feedback feature we call \u201cSee\u201d.<\/p>\n For each moment that you capture and add to your Path, you will see which of your friends have seen the moment in real-time. The idea is that understanding enables trust and storytelling amongst close friends and family.<\/p>\n We hope you feel like more of your close friends are seeing life through your eyes than ever before.<\/p>\n Exploring<\/strong><\/p>\n Because of the amount of context included in each moment on Path, we want to help you explore and understand both your memories and those of your close friends\u2019 in unique and interesting ways. We have started by helping you see moments on a map of the world.\u00a0 Expect more neat visualizations in the future from us.<\/p>\n How do you start your Path?<\/strong><\/p>\n Path is available from the App Store on iPhone or in the App Store here<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/downloads.path.com\/blog\/images\/2.png\")
