Snippet: I Quit Path ☇
Jon Mitchell of ReadWriteWeb shares a tale of getting sick of Path and aspects of social networks in general:
Facebook is doing the same thing, you know. Timeline is going to be a big ol’ billboard about our whole lives, and years from now, we’re going to want to scroll back through it and see what we were up to. And Facebook will be able to show us nice, nostalgic ads along the way. I bet that’s what Path wants to do, too.
I feel the same way about Facebook, but stick around on there to keep the fan page for this site going and stay in touch with friends who seem to only rely it for communication. I often get grief for my “empty” profile, which often has items removed or untagged.
Snippets are posts that share a linked item with a bit of commentary.
