The South by Southwest (SXSW) conference is going on this week in Austin, Texas, and as in years past, many developers are introducing their new wares at the interactive arm of the conference, SXSWi. Many mobile development firms have successfully launched new apps at the event; in fact, Twitter, Gowalla and Foursquare all made their debuts at previous SXSW conferences.
Hot apps at this year’s conference include Highlight, a location-aware app that connects users with other people who have similar interests; Glancee, another location-aware app; and Angry Birds Space, a new game which takes the popular franchise out of this world.
