Currently some companies using the service are:
Prezi: Trying to innovate slidepresentations, you have to see this 
.
Witsbits: Cloud computing platform
It will be very interesting to see the development over the coming months.

Stuff happening during the summer
Summertime, especially July, means that things start going a bit slowly in the online and e-commerce world. Some fun stuff happening/found lately though:
Betreut: Steffen continues to kill in the baby sitting area, now extending to all kinds of services such as dog sitting (tierbetreuung). More lame Swedish version would be Grannar (supported by lots of old media but still doesn’t manage to push through).
DTG: Swedish Direct to Garment king Peter got into a pretty nasty accident a few months ago, when you run a business this is the kind of thing you are always scared to death about, hope it didn’t hurt Peters business to much and I’m sure we’re gonna see more DTG shirts around the stores in Sweden soon .
Inredning: Dan, aka throwing up 2 sites a day maniac, just realesed his new shop Inredning. Needs more new unique products but I’m sure its gonna find its focus in the coming months grossing millions a month in a year 
.
OnlinePizza: There’s been a lot of talk about Pizza lately, looking at the German Pizza.de these guys are on to something good. What I love about the Swedish service is that you also pay online!
Rumplo: Just an absolutely great T-Shirt shopping portal, be sure to check out one of its sponsors, LaFraise.
Zappos: Nothing new I’m just wondering why ppl start talking about it so much right now, Zappos been around for looooong, maybe the CEOs appreance in US show The Apprentice could have something todo with it.
Also have a look at ArcticStartup, now with Paula as a writer the Swedish focus has exploded the last two months. Especially read this post about Spotify (also commented by Carl Bildt Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs) and Soundcloud .

Istheshit.net relaunch
A few hours ago the new version of Istheshit.net went live, no problems so far lets hope it stays that way.
Hopefully the new site will be such an injection that we want to actively develop the project further. The original specification is from 2005 so don’t judge us to hard if some of the functions might seem a bit oldfashioned .
Istheshit.net is currently a joint project between Bytelove and Samworks.

Piratpartiet / The Swedish Piracy party gets over 7% of Swedish votes
The Swedish Piracy Party recieved over seven percent of the Swedish votes, SEVEN percent.
Now to a funny quote from an established politician in Sweden:
”At the same time its a sign of weak democrazy when a parti who has an agenda spanning one per mille of the political spectra can gain such success” – Göran Hägglund *Free translation*
Well … seven percent of the Swedish population thinks differently, they apparently do not matter but are lost stupid “sheep” to be worried about private companies legislating Swedish laws that interfere with our freedom of speach.
Swedbank and cars …
Swedbank apparently confiscated cars worth of SEK700 000 000 in the Baltic countries.
That’s kind of funny, I assume many of the cars was taken from businesses who will now have it even harder to make money and repay their loans. So now Swedbank is sitting with a bunch of cars which are less than easy to sell in the current market, not what I’d call a win win situation
