Path 3 Now Does Messaging
Path, the social networking app that does a little bit of everything, has added some new features in its latest update. Path 3.0 now does private messaging (one-to-one or group), has something called ‘Stickers’ which are like Emojis on steroids and is opening up a new shop for you to buy stuff from. Basically, more of a little of everything.
Oh Dear, Did Path Screw Up And Steal Your Data Again?
Yikes. Path, which got in trouble around this time last year for stealing your entire address book without your permission, might have another privacy snafu on its hands.

The Letter US Congress Sent To Apple Asking What The Hell Is Going On With Path
Path messed up. The app was collecting address book data without user permission and it pissed off a lot of people. Now even Congress is getting involved, wondering what the hell happened. Congress has sent a letter to Apple asking questions and demanding answers.
They Know You’re Reading This
I was recently complaining to a teller at my bank that the another bank down the street had given my three-year-old daughter a stuffed horse for nothing more than walking past the front door. I jokingly asked her what gifts my own bank would be willing to offer to compete for the affections of my daughter. Then I said, “Oh, you probably don’t like it when I mention the competition when I’m in here, eh?”
