What Path Should've Been →

I guess it would’ve been easier for me to use Path if they were aggregating my social data from elsewhere.

That’s redundant, and it’s not what someone does when they’re trying to build a lasting company. Mark didn’t build Facebook as a more beautiful interface for MySpace. He started something new, limited, and clobbered MySpace (and everyone else).

Other companies have built aggregations of all of your favorite social spaces and they all suck because losing/dying is a redesign away. Doing something altogether different is how you win.
