SXSW: The Top Apps Are...

March 23, 2011
It’s official: the winning apps at this year’s South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, TX were Instagram and Foodspotting, according to Opinionaided. The real time mobile question and answer service made the announcement earlier this week. Opinionaided, which collects consumer data through its free iPhone/iPod touch app and website, asked customers throughout the festival what they thought of certain apps. They rated each app using a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down.’ The winning apps were those receiving the highest percentage of ‘thumbs ups’ two minutes after the question was asked. The survey’s results, which were not scientific since it wasn’t based on a probability sample, aren’t surprising. Instagram and Foodspotting remain popular in the App Store, months after each app’s initial release. Other apps rated highly at SXSW include: Addieu, Foursquare, and Yobongo.
