Every year at South By Southwest, hundreds of new mobile apps are launched. Some succeed, some fail. Here’s apps I’ve heard about so far…
- Clik – “Clik is the amazing YouTube remote that allows you to walk up to any screen with a browser, point your phone at it, and instantly take control. It’s a magical experience that you need to see to believe.” – Clik unveils 3 new mobile-to-smart TV apps at SXSW 2012

INTRO also matches Freelancers to projects they have the right skills for. It’s the fastest and easiest way to find work. No more online applications, recruitment agents or list searching. And for Small Businesses, you’re matched to the best people for your project.”
- EchoEcho – “echoecho helps you FIND YOUR FRIENDS, in seconds.

Whether you want friends or business contacts, Kismet tells you who you should be meeting and why, so you’ll never waste your time having another boring, dead-end conversation with the wrong person.”
