What we were scared of…
Alas, The Indian team has been thwarted in the World Cup – rather embarrassingly at that – and our “revolutionary, web 2.0 campaign” :) around the world cup seems to have come a cropper.
For those who don’t know – or didnt get the chance to know IndiaJeetega is a world record attempt to make the largest fanmail photomosaic ever – fans send the Indian team an online postcard and we put all those together into a very large photomosaic. The mosaic might have looked like this.

| An early version of the mosaic | With lots of fan postcards |
But after yesterday’s match – it looks like our plans, as of many others, have been dashed.
So while we string our hopes on the unlikely possibility that Bangladesh loses to Bermuda (!) I can’t help being reminded of something someone told us the other day – “We picked the wrong team”.
Apna to mamu ban gaya! :(

It has arrived
Yes, it has arrived. The new, rocking and reloaded itasveer. We have added cool new products and some great new features. Let me walk you through some of the stuff and you can tell us what you think.
The itasveer product line has expanded and you can now create customised T-Shirts, Mugs and Greeting Cards with your photos and images.
You say what’s so special about that, considering so many others offer the same? Well, that’s because we have put a lot of thinking into helping you design these products like no other. The big new feature, which we are quite in love with, even if we say so ourselves, is the Doodlepad. What is the Doodlepad? Doodlepad is an online tool specially crafted for designing products. It is drag-and-drop simple yet packed with features.
What can you design with the Doodlepad? Anything you wish. Some examples will be in order, so here we go.
 |
Want to make a collage of photos? Sure – Add multiple photos, resize and rotate them and move them around. |
| A comic page effect? Sure – Add a photo, and add a speech bubble with changeable fonts and colors. |  |
 |
A brand new design? Sure – You have ready-to-use art like Backgrounds, Border and Clipart. Mix them up, add some text and you have a unique new design. |
See some actual product samples here.
What else is new at itasveer? Many of you had asked for photo albums. We admit we have been a little late with this, but only because we wanted them to be special. Which is why we bring to you beautiful Handmade Photo Albums created by children from the NGO Parichay – an organisation which is doing several activities towards the personal and the social development of children, youth, and adults of the community. Buy them here.
Wait. There is more !One of our users asked us once: “How would one know what the final image looks like ? e.g. if the original image is 5 by 8 and one wants 4 by 6 size, how does one know how the image is clipped to the appropriate size ?” Well now you can. We have introduced Cropping Controls to help you specify what part to clip and what part to keep, or not clip any at all. Click here to learn about cropping.
We will post details/demos of these features individually soon.
Hey, and don’t forget – you guys better keep sending us any issues that you might face and your thoughts/suggestions.

Hello world – Let’s get talking
Hi! Welcome to the itasveer blog. It is great to be able to finally speak with you.
So what is this blog going to be about? Well, of course, about the latest happenings at itasveer, but more importantly this blog is about you – our users. So feel free to write in about anything and everything, and we’ll respond.
To quote from the Cluetrain Manifesto: “(Theses#82) Your product broke. Why? We’d like to ask the guy who made it. Your corporate strategy makes no sense. We’d like to have a chat with your CEO. What do you mean she’s not in?”.
We’ll see how it goes.
