Path launched two weeks ago with a swell of buzz. Then came the backlash. It was swift and merciless. "It's a social app that discourages large-scale social sharing ? WTF?," seemed to be the main complaint. Well, love it or hate it, Path is sticking to its, yes, path. But an update tonight brings a few nice updates. First and foremost, you can finally use pictures taken outside of the app. Previously, you could only load up the app, hit the camera button, and take a picture to share on the service on the spot. The reason for this was that they wanted to make sure your path was being shared in realtime from where you really were. But the latest version of the app, 1.0.2, has a new "Library" button in the camera area. Hitting this allows you to pick any photo from your camera album. But read that carefully ? it has to be from your camera album. In other words the picture still has to be one taken with your iPhone camera. Again, there's a reason for this.
