Despite the conventional wisdom these days that the broader sharing options you have, the better, Path set out to take the opposite road. 50 friend limits. No outside sharing features. No Facebook. No Twitter. That changed a few months later when selective Facebook sharing was added to the mix. But still, the massive public sharing tool was nowhere to be found: Twitter. And it's still not ? in Path itself. Instead, the team has built an entirely new app for that: With. With is Path's acknowledgement that people love sharing photos and who they're with on Twitter. But again, they just don't see that sharing mechanism as a part of Path itself. When the team held a hackathon several weeks ago to come up with other interesting ideas, With was an obvious first child. And that's interesting since Twitter itself was born in a similar manner, as a hacked-up side-project at Odeo.
