What Was It?

Path organized mobile sharing around a deliberately limited social circle. Photos and updates were meant for a smaller audience than a conventional public-facing network.

Its design made closeness part of the product's identity, asking whether a social app could feel more personal by giving up the ambition to connect everyone at once.
