The second generation iPad<\/a> is here. \u00a0After many rumors, a thinner, lighter and faster tablet<\/a> with two cameras was introduced during a press conference last week.\u00a0 Will you upgrade?\u00a0 Some are already calling for people to wait for the next version<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what are the big trends expected at South by Southwest this year? \u00a0Group messaging<\/a>, according to tech enthusiasts, is going to be as hot as last year\u2019s location-based app<\/a>.\u00a0 TextPlus, GroupMe<\/a>, FastSociety and Yobongo<\/a>, among many others, are trying to break out as the leader in the space. The fast-growing market — GroupMe sends one million texts a day<\/a> — is only expected to heat up.\u00a0 Have you tried group texting?<\/p>\n

Imagine walking down the street and you get an alert on your phone of a nearby restaurant or retailer that is currently offering a deal. \u00a0With a new Loopt<\/a> feature being introduced at SXSW Interactive, dubbed \u201cRewards Alerts,\u201d<\/a> users will know of flash daily deals in their vicinity. \u00a0I will see what Austin has to offer!<\/p>\n

Attention all (forgetful) errand-runners! \u00a0Neer, a private location-sharing app for iPhone and Android, has introduced location-triggered reminders<\/a>. \u00a0In the future, users will be able to assign reminders to friends and family (A 21st<\/sup> century chore chart, perhaps). \u00a0Never forget to pick up dry cleaning again (or tell your significant other to)!<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t decide on your particular art-style, check out Artsicle,<\/a> a Netflix-style renting service for fine art, according to Mashable. \u00a0For a membership fee, consumers can choose from a large, diverse selection and rent a piece of art they want to try, and if they like it, can purchase the piece.<\/p>\n

Need to host a conference call with participants in multiple locations?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Need to host a conference call with participants in multiple locations? \u00a0Skype<\/a> is planning to launch a conference calling service which will allow multiple people to see each other and share documents. \u00a0On a more individual level, SocialEyes<\/a>, a Facebook app, allows users to video chat<\/a> with each other.<\/p>\n

The advertisements you see on your television may soon be based on your medical prescriptions. According to The Wall Street Journal,<\/a><\/em> technology and data companies are gathering personal data on consumers, including viewing-habits, in order to target ads. Cablevision Systems, for instance, \u201chas rolled out a system that can show entirely different commercials, in real time, to different households tuned to the same program.\u201d \u00a0Innovative or intrusive?<\/p>\n
