Last week I downloaded an app that I have been hearing about in the twitter world put out by path.com. As with any new social media app I asked the same question people asked about facebook – how is this any different?
What I have found over the past week is that the path app has slowly taken away my need for the use of several apps I use to integrate social media into my everyday life. What I appreciate about path is that it integrates 3 of my favorite apps:
It also integrates Tumblr. One of the things I am dissapointed in is that it doesn’t integrate google+, but that’s probably more of a problem with google+.
ok…so this post is about the differences between instagram and path.
I have been using instgram for quite some time now and love how I can feel free to share pictures of my life in a more private way than facebook – and in a way that someone doesn’t roll their eyes when they see I am using facebook like a flickr account.
Why Instagram is better
App of the year. 15 million+ users. Tons of beautiful picture editing options.
Why Path is better
It doesn’t have all the “bells and whistles” that instagram does, but I think what will really make this app great is that – unlike instagram – path supports both iphones and android phones. What this means is that the people I care to share pictures with through social media don’t have to have iphones. Truth is, not everyone likes iphones and some of those people are friends and family members.
For this simple reason I have moved towards utlizing path.com to share photos more often. Past photo sharing, path.com is superior with foursquare integration and unique status update options.
What are your favorite social media apps on iphone or android phones?
Thanks for sharing. I'm testing it out, have been waiting too long for instagram on android. Although it might be coming soon!http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/08/instagram-creator-holds-up-android-phone/
