The other day, I was thinking about the magic that was the original Foursquare launch at SXSW in 2009. The city of Austin was abuzz with everyone using the app ? even though no one was sure what it really was yet. Or how, if ever, it would be useful. It was really just a fun game at the time. And this year, Austin is going to have that game again: EightBit. If you've been on the Internet in the past few months, by now you've seen the EightBit avatars popping up all over the place. It got so bad on Twitter at one point that we had to poke fun at the phenomenon even though the startup wasn't official talking about what they were doing just yet. But now they are ready to talk about what they're doing. And it's sublime.
