SxSW app previews of GonnaBe and Bonfyre | TheSocialNetworker Episode 39

Paul Steel and Chris Miller open the South By Southwest 2013 floodgates with app previews of GonnaBe and Bonfyre.  SxSW and SxSWi has become a pivotal launch point for mobile applications.  In many instances a make or break scenario. Here is the breakdown of these two applications in the video.

SxSW apps : Hoot.Me, Zamp and Deja.io

Hoot.me, Zamp.io

Paul Steel and Chris Miller at SxSW 2012 in Austin, TX sit live at the FedEX Food Truck to cover the apps Zamp, Deja.io and the Facebook app Hoot.Me.

We were very unimpressed with Zamp.  We felt it lacked enough function and capability to have us coming back.  At one point we thought Paul had uninstalled it even before the show was recorded.  Hoot.Me was a Facebok web app that is very cool for homework collaboration.  While the school list is still small and growing, we feel the app has potential and we talk about why.  Rounding up the reviews was Deja.io that gives a very cool interface into video watching, searching and sharing.  The main focus is YouTube but it does support other platforms.

SxSW apps : Draw Something, Eventbrite and FedEX app reviews

Draw Something Eventbrite FedEX

Paul Steel and Chris Miller at SxSW 2012 in Austin, TX sit live at the FedEX Food Truck to cover the apps Draw Something, Eventbrite and the awesome FedEX mobile app.


Draw Something from OMGPOP took over quick and made them huge amounts of money from the premium version and in app purchases.  Eventbrite left us wanting so much more and the lack of actual usage at SxSW was obvious.  Thanks to the FedEX social media team for letting us record at their food truck and the app is constantly in use from Paul long before we even got to SxSW.
