#2Path laid off 13 staffers today, axing 20 percent of its workforce...
Path founder and CEO Dave Morin, who celebrated his 33rd birthday yesterday, has not responded to requests for comment.
Cmon Techcrunch, you should know that Path dude never answers his phone, it puts him on defense.

#3"The spokesperson said that Path currently has 20 million users"
Has Path ever released a data point other than total number of registered users?

Is Path particularly well-regarded?

Some context for those who don't know the reference.

Path itself is likely not regarded poorly, but with a shortage of good devs in the valley, I suspect the data people they've (possibly) let go would have had offers. Not so sure about marketing.

Not necessarily. But Silicon Valley engineers with startup experience who just lost their job and are likely to accept lowball offers so they can continue to pay their hyper-inflated apartment leases, those people are highly sought after.

Overlooking their privacy issues, the app was well done. The experience felt fresh when the app first came out. A few things I thought were particularly neat: the circular menu for posting statuses, the polished timeline, and the drawer (which to my knowledge they were the first to do).

lol.... that honestly made me laugh. I never read the interview before but will make use of that line sometime. Regarding path, they need to boost numbers, so started exploiting peoples address books, when this worked they raised more money but those users where spammed and probably just deleted the app. The only thing i hear about path is the design, if you did a frequency distribution of word usage in path articles, it's about design. The funny thing is, i downloaded the app last year, then invited my wife to use it, she text me saying she didn't know how to use it and never did so i deleted it as well. Therefore the great design appealed to the tech inclined but to cross the chasm they needed familiar design like instagram & twitter.
