And it's name is Timu

About two months ago I announced my departure from ActiveRain full-time to found a yet to be announced start-up outside of the real estate industry. I've been pretty silent around here, for a little bit but have been hard at work on the new venture. While I'm still keeping most of the details under wraps, but I think it should be pretty obvious from the logo what industry it's in :

Looks like ....balls? Oh....sports :)

Hi Matt! Glad to see your post pop up and will look forward to seeing your new venture come alive! Last January you were here with Lydia and I am so happy that we all met you ....and if you EVER are in town again...please call and we'll all do something again!

DEC

Hmm Matt, now what will you be doing with the sports teams? Im jealous anyway cuz I love sports!

Matt, good to see you back on AR. Look forward to more details. It is still to mysterious for me at this point. Social Network for Sportsfans??? Can they break away from the TV sets and post comments?? Let us know. Good luck and lots of success!

sports activities? I guess it could be manufacturing of sports equipment. Or one of those old movie singalongs - follow the bouncing ball(s) - updated? anyhow you have made many people curious!

Good to see you Matt. I love the look of the logo. You must be very excited about all of this.

TLW and I wish you much success.

Can't wait to see the new site. I'm sure with your vision, it will be awesome. Are you doing an Activerain type site for sports fans? Glad things are going well and can't wait for it to unfold. Lots of sports fans here so I'm sure some of us will follow you.I think I heard a twit on this, something about Ginger coming up with a name in some language. I couldn't find the start of the conversation, but I think this is what I heard.

Sports ..hmmmm fun!! Let us know when you launch! I was wondering why you were sitting at the bottom of the barrell of my subscribers for so long!

Hi Matt - you have been missed around here! Thanks for stopping in and teasing us with a coming soon image... stay well and keep us posted!

Your Raleigh Realtors

Maybe it is there and I just didn't see it... but didn't you miss the biggest and most exciting sport in the world?

;^ )

I've seen the vision for this site and it's AWESOME!! Once ActiveRain is operating on all cylinders without me I'm hitting you up for a job, haha!!

Or maybe I can just moonlight?

Im with Lane! Need to make slight shift for those numbers here in the South! Fun!

Matt,

Best wishes for success. Look forward to reading more on your endeavor. I hope that you include MMA in TIMU.

Matt,

I miss your commentary on the economy. Looks like you've been busy, though.

DEC

Applying your encyclopedic mind to sports!

Matt, I just came looking for you because I noticed you were not on Brad's Xmas card!! I, for one, will definitely miss your "state of the economy" posts!! (hopefully you'll still throw one in now and then.

Good luck in your new endeavor. I have no doubt you will be successful.

DEC

We stopped by and are excited to see what you are up to. Glad you gave us an update. Scott and I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season with all of the joy and love that it brings.

We look forward to hearing your sports commentary over the year. Feel free to reference to our top 100 sports records that wont' ever be broken list.

All the best-

Sincerely, Active Castellum.

Can you tell us what TIMU stands for? Maybe we can have a contest? haha

Feel free to take a guess, it actually does have a very relevant meaning :)

DEC

Matt - looking forward to hearing more about your new venture. Not even going to venture a guess as to what TIMU stands for. Happy New Year!

Matt, I am a huge sports fan and can't wait to see what TIMU has in store for us. Thanks for all you have done here at AR, and I am sure I will be seeing you on TIMU very soon.

Matt, we're urging members of this network to take a stab at what timu stands for. Let us know once someone has the right answer. We're all looking forward to the day TIMU opens. Any updates btw?

Well I'm happy to finally have the private beta of Timu operational today. A couple weeks behind schedule but I'm still looking to actually launch this thing publically in April. Unlike what we've become so acustom to with companies such as Google, it's a beta test, not a product launch with a beta tag slapped on it, so most of the site is hidden from everyone except a small group of beta testers.

So what is Timu?

Timu is a communication and social networking platform for amateur sports teams (little league, high school, adult rec leagues, etc).
