The idea behind Retelly is to select and display the most creative and well-produced videos that are already located on surfaces such as youtube or vimeo. The videos are grouped into categories, which makes the experience more manageable. And if you have great videos and want to monetize them on youtube, you must search how to get fast youtube watch hours for best help option! Furthermore, your channel can benefit so much when you order subscribers from Zeru.

“It’s all based on a mission to help people to discover videos in simple, delicious and meaningful environment with a focus on quality. Therefore, Retelly’s design line and ease of use on the site from the beginning has been of the highest priority.” Says co -founder Kaave Pour to Trendsonline.

Their strategy has also brought Retelly team several international design awards in their first year.

Back in May, 40% of visitors of Retelly came from abroad. Today, the figure increased to more than 80% from abroad. Kaave Pour continues:

“Traffic and attention has been overwhelming. Several times our servers actually went down because of the intensity of visitors from the U.S., even though we upgraded on an ongoing basis. Now we are back and ready for hopefully even more visits.”

The company’s ambition is to be Scandinavia’s next revolutionary tech startup – as Skype and Spotify. We look forward to hearing more from the three founders behind Retelly.com: Kaave Pour, Mathias Arvedsen and Jens Krogshede.

Mobile Gala is an event when the year’s most successful Swedish mobile businesses and innovators praised in connection with a major industry party in Stockholm. According to the nominations announced on Monday, some companies from Skåne are listed in several major categories.

Zimpl is one of the four nominees of the category “Innovation of the Year”. The company, which was founded in Lund in 2010, uses a patented technology to make it easier to enter text on mobile phones and computers. This fall, the company has moved its office to Malmö.

Mobile payment has been a hot issue throughout the year and in the category “Mobile Payment of the Year”, Malmö company Mobill, is listed as one of the five nominated companies. The company is including the technology behind the mobile operators’ payment service, WyWallet. The finesse with Mobill’s technology is that it brings together merchants and consumers in the mobile networks, whether by an app on a smart phone, or in the case of SMS payments.

App company Fivestarday from Malmö is one of the five nominees in the category “Best Mobile Marketing of the Year”. Nominations for the campaign Lifebuoy hunt took place in cooperation with Trygg-Hansa.

Malmö company Foap, which has created a picture app for individuals who want to sell mobile photos to businesses, has been nominated in the category “Best Business Service of the Year”. A total of five companies are nominated in this category, but the title of “Best gold mobile of the Year” can just belong to one company.

Mobile Gala is arranged by newspaper companies Tidningen Mobil and Mobil:Business.

Previous Mobile Gala winners which come from the Öresund region, include Lund company Doro and Malmö company TAT .

It will be interesting to find out the final winners and see if any of the companies from the Öresund region can win the top honor. Thus we will continue to follow up with the Mobile Gala final competition in Stockholm in early November.

Until now, Click A Taxi users are only able to book taxi through the app, which has been a big improvement, but now the possibilities are even more.

Today one can only pay for the taxi rides with either credit card or cash and one has to even save paper receipts. Click A Taxi is making the changes rapidly. Moving forward, as a taxi customer of Amager-Øbro Taxi, one can be able to pay automatically from the app and also receive the receipts on the mobile phone.

“We will build the world’s best taxi service and so far we’ve made it easy to book a taxi without ringing. Our next step is to improve service levels and make payment smarter. Amager-Øbro Taxi 4×27 is a pioneer in the taxi in Denmark and will improve service and technology to the top level,”says the Director of Click A Taxi, Søren Halskov Nissen.

The evolution of Click A Taxi’s App system makes taxi customers’ life much easier and more convenient. We will thus do more follow-ups with Click A Taxi.
