#12Path 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.
Some context for those who don't know the reference. > "I don’t use a ring of any kind on my phone. This is so that I am always on offense and never defense." [1] [1] http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/my-phone/2013/03/dave-mori...
Also in meetings all day and all night.

#13I wonder how many of those guys had job offers in their inbox before they had their exit interview.
Maybe depends on their title? Software engineer, yeah probably getting nibbled to pieces. Other job description, ymmv.

#14According to their site, they are still hiring for five positions. Maybe it's just a massive cleansing?

#15Did Path destroy itself with questionable ethics[1] or is there really no way to compete with Facebook anymore?

I wonder which phone Techcrunch called.
They might have called his night phone this morning.

#19That's what happens when you realise that it costs more to acquire a user than you can make money off him/her. There'll probably another layoff in 4 months and another one and then we have an acquihire, yeah!
Ugh, I tried to like it, but I just dont like Path. If I can think of a vanity startup with vanity PR, vanity founder, vanity metrics, it's Path. Ugh.

Path originally touted the idea of having a limited friends group - only your closest. I thought that actually made sense.
Then they started spamming people in your phone book, completely ruining the entire point of their original pitch. Now they seem to make money selling stickers? I'm not sure why any self-respective developer would still be working there.
