Tired of seeing mind numbingly meaningless updates on Facebook and Twitter by people you barely know? Well, you could cut your friends list down by two thirds, or……. just join Path!
Path is a new ‘Personal Network’ which only allows you to add a maximum of 50 friends to your network. This means that you will only have your nearest and dearest seeing what you are up to. The number 50 was decided on because on Oxford Professor claims that 150 is the maximum number of social relationships a human can cope with.

Many users complained about this issue over twitter yesterday, however, Apple had no words to say about when the bug will be fixed.
Who would complain about having an extra lie in on a Sunday?!
