Picsquare.com: Future of Photo Printing has arrived

Picsquare.com is one of the startup idea’s that really made me say ” WOW”. The idea of the site is pretty simple; you upload pictures directly from the digi cam/ scanned copies from your computer to the website and the site delivers you the hard copies of the same and that too within an acceptable time.

Picsquare.com which was founded by Manish and Kartik, students from IIT Mumbai, offers various solutions from Photo Prints, Photo Mugs, Photo T-Shirts, Photo Greetings to Photo Calendars.

During my short meeting with Manish and Kartik, i found the guys to be extremely passionate and confident about their product. Some of the future ideas they shared with me sound even better. I believe the co-founders have enough charisma to take picsquare to the new orbit.Also with attractive pricing and prompt delivery timelines, i believe picsquare.com has miles to go.

Most of the blacklisted sites in Saudi Arabia are either sexually explicit or about religion, women, health, drugs and pop culture. They even block access to websites about bathing suits. So if you want to buy something to swim in, they seem to treat that as if it were pornographic in Saudi Arabia. more>>
