Like all the cool kids, you’ve downloaded the newer, hipper, 2.0ier Path, right. Of course you have. It’s cool! That doodad circle thing! The annotated clock scrollbar widget! Rock out!

But you’ve probably also said to yourself “Self. This is cool and all but I already Tweetblast and Foursquelch, why do I need Path?” And maybe you, like me, are irked that Path doesn’t blast and squelch on your behalf. Seems obvious enough.

EXCEPT THAT IT DOES. You may have missed it because it’s so clever and so unobtrusive that one might say it “lacks discoverability” if one were the kind of half-clever douche who says such things in polite company.

See it? Down there in the bottom right. Look again. FINE gimme that I’ll just show you.

Nifty, right? So now when you check in to a place on Path, it’ll let Foursquare know for you. And if you haven’t signed in, it’ll ask you to first time and then remember for later. Of course, just because you can do all of this doesn’t mean that you should – as always, use your judgement and let’s not go blasting our every update everywhere just because we can.

I’m still trying to figure out if Path is gonna be all that I want it to be but this one feature made it a whole lot more useful for me. Maybe it will be for you as well. Let’s all hope and pray they don’t just get eaten by the Faceborg.
