I truly believe that's the case. It's simply a subjective opinion, not trying to lie. I think it's better than twitter because of the reply system, whereas twitter doesn't support conversations very well. You may not think it's better, but it doesn't mean it's a lie. Although, I would love to hear your thoughts on why it's not better. :)
We actually took a lot of logo inspiration from the CNN app, instead of Path. If you had a chance to take a look at the app. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
