'Bond' for a euphoric union

WANT TO share happy moments with your near and dear? Be it marriage, birthday or a wedding anniversary or `sashtipurti'? Well, go ahead. All you have to do is extend an invitation. But what if you have a hundred of them spread across the US, not to mention other countries?

Well, still go ahead. For, `apnaprasaran (our telecast)' is here to take you into the world of virtual reality and cut down the distance barrier through its `Your video on Web'. All you have to do is capture the cherished moments on a video and hand it over to iDOTECHO.com and they will put the clippings of any occasion on the Internet.

The contents of the tape will be converted and streamlined into slots of five, 10, 20 and 30 minutes and hosted on www.apna009.com for one/two weeks duration (as desired by the customer), for a specified fee, which doesn't pinch your pocket much. A five-minute clipping on the Web for one week could cost you as low as Rs. 500 and a 30-minute clipping Rs. 2,500.

And you don't have to worry about `uninvited' persons accessing it. The confidential user name and password given to a customer will be passed on only to your exclusive guest list, assures K.P. Chowdary, Director.

Don't fret if you don't have a video camera either. The videographer will take care of it--and he has a good reason too. Besides commission (from the company), every videographer who generates Rs. 1 lakh business per annum will be offered a free trip to Singapore! But they have to get registered first.

Under an innovative tie-up, First Flight Courier is taking care of logistics involved in bringing the video cassettes from virtually anywhere in the country to Hyderabad, using their network of 450 outlets. In fact, its outlets cover 883 destinations in over 200 countries, says M.L. Saboo, Director.

If you think that's a happy ending, you are mistaken. There's some more good news. In six months to one year, iDOTECHO.com proposes to even have live coverages on the Net. Have you been wondering what apna009.com means? Well, they still have eight more niche portals--under wraps, for now.
