A few weeks ago, I wrote about my participation in the Path for Android app beta testing program, but due to the terms of my participation in the program, I wasn’t allowed to include any screenshots or other information about the progress of the program.
Today that has changed. The beta for the Android Path app is now available to the public via the Android Market.
If you aren’t familiar with Path, let me elaborate. Started by former Facebook exec Dave Morin, Path is an innovative social network closely integrated with mobile technology. Based on anthropological research that humans are only capable of a limited number of close relationships, Path puts a 50-person limit on the people in your Path. You then interact with your Path via photographs taken with your smartphone’s camera. With each photograph, you can also share a caption, which the app helps you develop: choose the people in your picture, the things in the picture, and where the picture was taken. Upload it to your Path (or occasionally to your Facebook wall) to let others know what you are up to.
The iPhone app has been available since 2010, but today is the first time Android users have publicly been able to participate in the program.
To get started on your own Path, head over to the official website to start an account and then download the app with this link or the QR code below. For more information on Path, read the article that introduced me to this social network. For the official beta release notes, check out this post.
