YC wins some and loses some. This seems to late to the market. Even the term 'circles' is already taken. However, I like their logo.

Late is a relative term, just because they weren't the first does not mean they can't succeed. I'm sure you can think of plenty of examples for products that were not first but succeeded or even overshadowed their counterparts. It's all about the execution.

Seems like one summer to late if you would of released it in the summer you could of been path or pair because it's a combination of both. Seems like a lesson learned maybe sometime it's ok you just release a app instead of waiting until you feel like it's perfect.

Easiest example would be facebook and google who really weren't that innovative. This seems to come at the end of this pair, path craze.

Looks like its similar to Path, but with multiple "paths". But, how is it different than the Google+ app?

Dave Morin is an investor, so Path probably doesn't see Everyme as direct competition.

Fair enough - I'm trying out the app now and I'll reserve further judgement until I've thoroughly tested it.
