Dave, do you have any tactics to help people recruit 8 more people? Or recruit the family?
This sound like the most important issue raised here and still something that only depends on word of mouth.
Actually is "let's encourage new users to recruit 8 more people, preferentially among their family" part of the grownth strategy?
I went for "please sign up on Path and add me as a friend because unlike on Facebook, there are some things that I share which I really sincerely would like YOU (and not every other random person) to see". I've got my family and closest friends on Path now, about 12 people in total, most of whom add content regularly and I'm happy :)
Having said that, as much as I like Path, I do sometimes feel like I'm doing them a favour promoting it so aggressively, and the favour hasn't quite been returned yet.
