Several days ago, the popular “personal” social networking app Pathcelebrated a new milestone as it passed the 10-million user mark. However, it once again found itself in the crosshairs of criticism when digital marketer Stephen Wainwright called attention to its seemingly intrusive signup process.........................
As pointed out by Wainwright, the app sends signup invitations to a new user’s friends without permission. But the folks behind Path maintain that the app is “really best with friends and we really want to help users invite the people that they care about to their Path as quickly as possible.”
To that end, a new update has been pushed to Path that makes finding and inviting friends even easier. Specifically, the update beings improved tools for finding family and friends who are already on Path and invite those who aren’t yet through the app’s new Twitter and Gmail integration.
On the other hand, the update also includes a new settings option that effectively enhances user privacy. It’s recommended that you check out this new option if you’d rather not be discovered by other users in Path’s global search.
