Follow a new Path

The mobile app Path originally launched in November of 2010 as a closed network photo-sharing app with a limit of 50 friends. A year on, Path has re-invented itself with Path 2 – a sort of diary for moments in every day life. I signed up to the app last week, and while very few of my contacts are also using the app, I am enjoying documenting and updating what I am doing.
One of the benefits of Path are that it’s limited to only your Path contacts until you tell it otherwise. You then have the option to integrate with Twitter, Facebook or Foursquare. Like Facebook, you can share your thoughts, what you are listening to, where you are, who you are with and photos you’ve taken, but unlike Facebook, there are filters for photos and you can even track your sleep cycle. Path is an easy to use and very nice to look at app. What I like most is that Path, it’s all about you – you choose which photo you’d like to use as your cover, you can see what’s happening in your life and your friend’s – all in a timeline that’s in a straight line which I find a lot easier to follow than Facebook’s recently launched Timeline.
This is a pretty handy and fun new app that I’ll definitely be using more of this year. What apps have you discovered for 2012?
