How it all began...
One night in December of last year (2006) I was looking at URL's on GoDaddy. At the same time I had this idea in my head that someone needed to create a video advertising portal/business directory. It would be the video version of the Yellow Pages. With the popularity of You Tube and Google, why not combine the two ideas and make the worlds first Video Advertising Business Directory?
Hot Pluto was a name that just seemed to come to me. I saw it was available and grabbed it along with .net. People ask me the origin of the name and I don't really have a pat answer. It was a quirky name and it seemed to fit. You could say that Pluto is a good reference when you think your site is out-of-this-world and you could say, even though it's one of the coldest places known to man, that you want to think of it as warm and fuzzy...or a place you could see yourself doing business on...if that makes you feel better. Where did Yahoo or Google come from? What do they mean?
Anyway, I then had to put the group together. They had to first buy-in to the concept and then they had to fit into the company. So I first went to a successfull businessman in the Valencia area who was a good friend...someone I saw myself working with and then someone who knew something about producing video. I found (wihtout looking far) just the right gal...my sister-in-law. The three of us began to meet weekly at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank. and the off we went! Six months of developing the idea and building our business plan. Next thing you know...I'm writing about it in this Blog on our site!
More to come...
