But I don't do the same for Foursquare. For what other apps do people click through when links are shared on Twitter and Facebook?
viewing photos isn't foursquare's primary use case. venue broadcast/discovery is.
I have 2 problems with Path. 1- I'm not sure what their primary use case is (check-ins, photos, status, music broadcast, tell people I'm awake? wtf). 2- They're not the best at doing any of these things. I'd rather check-in and discover venues on foursquare. I'd rather upload a photo to instagram. I'd rather tell people what I'm listening to on hype machine and spotify. I've never felt the need to tell people when I'm awake or going to sleep but maybe I'm behind on that one.
I know Path has awesome (the best?) mobile design. Necessary, but not sufficient.
