Can someone explain these parts of the ToS to me:

    4. User Content.
    You give Everyme permission to reproduce and use your
    User Content as follows: you grant to Everyme and its
    Affiliates a license to reproduce, distribute, display,
    perform, and otherwise use your User Content solely in
    connection with providing the Site and Services.

    (...) Finally, our license is perpetual, meaning that 
    our license lasts for an indefinite period of time.
    In general, however (...)
Who are the Affiliates, and what are the legal implications of a so-called perpetual, indefinite license?

I'm sold, it's a mix of Path/Pair and I like the design of the app. However the problem is that I would need to convince my friends to use the App as well. I hope this takes off, I really do the Everyme team did a great job and I wish them the best!

It's not that I'm assuming that they're up to no good, I just don't like registering for a site I barely have any good description and introduction for - especially since Apple probably haven't patched the whole address book thing yet.

Awesome! I'm getting straight onto Google Play to download the... ...oh.

Footnote: I don't really take issue with this being an iPhone exclusive for now. Getting to market is the most important thing, and I commend the team for making sure they got the app and the experience right in one environment, rather than trying to attack them all at once.

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. http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/18/andreessen-horowitz-crunchf...

Well I hope he has real faith in the company and the product, rather than it being a case of "OK, guys you've had a couple of months to play around with this idea, now let me acquire you for pocket change, and get your devs working on Path, the _real_ winner."
