Some UI elements look exactly like in Path app, is this the same company?

#32>The app doesn’t allow users to share anything from Everyme to Facebook, Twitter, or other social networks — Cameron says that’s so you know that what’s shared in a Circle stays in the Circle. These guys have it right. It's about time a social network started focusing on the quality of communication rather than the quantity of connections.
Agree with the focus on quality of communication, but is the issue here self-inflicted? Is Everyme trying to solve a problem created because too many of us "friended" their co-workers?
Does it matter if it's self-inflicted? People want, need, and pay for solutions to self-inflicted problems all of the time.
Besides, am I really supposed to ignore friend requests from co-workers? It's a socially dangerous thing to do!

You're right, my error. I had a friend mention that she received two separate text messages, the first being about the post, the second being the context (i.e. they were added to a circle). I mistakenly assumed that they weren't sent together and sent in the opposite order. Might be nice to somehow communicate more explicitly that no one is notified until after you post something in a circle.
Yes, I agree! That is something we are working on. We are in a difficult place because we are extraordinarily cautionary about what messages we send through email/text but we don't to clutter the UI with alerts and confirm dialogs.
Some problems:
I mistyped a phone number and I cant remove it.
There are people in my family circle which have the same last name but are not in my family and I cant edit the circle.
I cant delete a circle....
ARGH I think I just sent "Sam loves this" to a bunch of people! WTF.
I am deleting this until this crap is fixed.

To be fair, you can add email-only people to G+ as well.
in the previous century, we used to put several email addresses separated by , or ; and it worked quite well to share pics with the family :)
That would work, but if you want to share with the same people again, you have to retype their addresses, at least with a copy and paste. With a good mobile platform it streamlines the process and can make sharing a much more spontaneous action, and with the concept of a personalized "circle", you also get a more intimate feel than an email thread :)

Sam, slide to delete works on phone numbers, circles, stories, people in your circles, and other places in the app where you need to remove data. Hope that helps! vibhu@everyme.com if you need more assistance.

#36Facebook should open a new savings account and deposit $1.37 million every day. In two years it will have the $1 billion they'll pay to acquire Everyme.
Consolidation-athon?

#37"Everyme uses your phone’s address book for sharing, and if people don’t have Everyme accounts, they can still see and post content through email and text messages." This is a brilliant way to overcome the chicken-and-egg problem, which is probably the biggest problem a new social network is facing. I don't want to share my kids' pictures with everyone on Facebook. And no, my mom is not going to join Google+ (nor sho…
Facebook supports granular privacy for all posts via friend lists, and will even suggest friends to add to lists. Want to share pics with just your family? Don't want to turn down a friend request from a coworker, but don't want them to see anything (Restricted list)? Facebook has these features. These social networks are going nowhere.
IMHO "granular" is the problem, not the solution. Unless of course granular can also be easy/native to the core usage pattern. Not sure why FB hasn't cracked this nut yet, but seems like EveryMe is working on getting granular right, which makes it worthy of attention.

Distribution lists are a solved problem also, even though Google refuses to support them in mobile Gmail.

#39Do we really need another social network site? Yes, we do! I am still waiting for a winner that allows me to share private details such as kid photos and contact information with select family members close friends. I want this data to be unavailable to anyone outside of my circle, including advertisers. Are there options available now that do this? Yes again, but I need a solution that I can get Grandma on board jus…
Ning?
