Every year at SXSW, there seems to be a breakout product or technology. In 2007, it was Twitter. Foursquare was the belle of the ball in 2010.

The app, which according to its description gives you a "sixth sense of the world around you" notifies you when friends or those with similar interests are nearby causing many to wonder cool or creepy?

I sat down with the CEO and co-Founder of Highlight at the Samsung Blogger Lounge at SXSW to talk about the inspiration behind the app, raising money from Michael Arrington and where he sees geo-location and privacy in the future.

When creating the app, Davison kept asking himself questions like, "How do you make friends when you move to a new city by yourself? How do you find the right person to marry you? How do you find out more about the people around you?"
