Hands-On With SXSW 2013's Best Apps

The Interactive portion of SXSW 2013 is now history, and it featuredproved to be a launching space for lots of new apps. The rollouts included new apps for making you smarter while you're at work, as well as a few fun additions. Here we get our hands on the best apps we found.

A new photo app records video while you're snapping a shot, and lets you create a sharable clip -- complete with filters and music -- at the end of the day with all your pictures in video form.

A rich messaging app also made a splash at this year's SXSW, and allows you to send friends not only text messages, but also video, music clips, and drawings. Finally, a new app for haters lets you share what you hate with the world.

What do all these fantastic new apps look like? Check out the video above for a hands-on look at some of the best apps from SXSW.
