Magnae Famae 4, is a redesigned, re-branded Magnae Famae, that launched on January 9th, 2013.

The design is a simple, easy to use/easy to figure out design. It is also Responsive, which means that it looks the same on all devices (except on the iPad, because of our special iPad version for Safari). Whether your reading MF on your laptop, or your smart phone, it looks the same!

The primary purpose of the redesign is to allow for easier access to content, and to create a more professional look.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Tripletech Ideas and Magnae Famae, Jordan!

We started the Your FAQ Beta on November 18th, pulling in a significant amount of traction, that we decided to pull out of the beat and officially launch Your FAQ as a Tripletech Ideas project.

Unfortunately, Your FAQ’s days are coming to a close.  We regret very much t announce that we are going to stop updating Your FAQ on June 29th, 2012. The stats we were getting were simply too difficult to justify keeping Your FAQ.

We are definitely not going to be completely killing off Your FAQ.

Your FAQ’s purpose was mainly to be a how-to blog. It eventually turned into a blog for basically everything except news (which, admittedly was one of the mistakes we made with Your FAQ).

Magnae Famae has plans to create a new how-to column, and How Did that Start column on Current Events.

We will not be continuing This Day in History, however World Financial Matters is debating the idea of doing a This Day in Financial History column.

Magnae Famae, our flagship project, is the place where we want everyone to go. We want to avoid fragmentation (such as we did, mistakenly with 4 The Gleek).

Over the period of a few months, we believe we will combine Your FAQ, 4 The Gleek and World Financial Matters*  into Magnae Famae, along with what already exists at Magnae Famae. This is simply to make things easier for our readers.

Thank you to all of the Your FAQ supporters. This does give us room to launch another project, possibly later this summer.

*We are debating whether or not to join World Financial Matter with Magnae Famae. Firstly, we want to see how it does.

SOPA and PIPA were only the beginning of the attack against the internet by corporate and government figures. At Tripletech Ideas, we understand this, and so we have joined WordPress. Reddit, Cheezburger, Imgur, the Electronic Frontier Foundation in joining together by being a part of the Internet Defense League in an attempt to protect the internet, so that it always wins these battles.

We simply cannot allow this to happen. The internet is a free place, and should always be. On June 29th, we will be making a very important announcement here, at the Tripletech Ideas Development Blog about a project that we hope will help in our mission to make a free web, together (that’s the just of our motto).

Hey there,

I just joined something called the Internet Defense League – and I’m hoping you will, too. I joined because it’s important to stand up against the powerful industries that are tyring hard to lock down the net. Remember SOPA and PIPA? The people who wrote them are working on more bills to censor the internet, spy on users, chill innovation and generally wreak havoc with the web.

The Internet Blackout helped kill SOPA/PIPA with nothing more than websites and individuals working together to broadcast messages and actions. The Internet Defense League uses the tactics of the Blackout, but supercharged and ready to take on anything that corrupt congresspeople and big business can throw at us.

Join me in the League. Take your place in the fight for internet freedom.

The Internet Defense League works like this: organizers and members monitor Congress and industry for threats to internet freedom. When there’s a grave threat or unmissable opportunity, people use their websites, Twitter, Facebook or other social network accounts to display action messages about the threat and tools for taking action. When we rise up together, we’ll be impossible to ignore.

With SOPA and PIPA, internet users found a new ability to take a stand together when our rights are at stake. Our powerful protest surprised everyone, especially the congresspeople and lobbyists who wrote the bills. We made them see the internet in a new light, but they still don’t know what we’re really capable of. The next time internet freedom is threatened, we will be able to use the League to come out even stronger than we did last fall.

The Internet Defense League can be the strongest network in the fight for internet freedom – but it will only work if large numbers of people get on board. It would be great to have you standing with us.

Click here to get started.

There’s more about future threats, targets, and The League on the site. I hope you’ll join me.

Good question.

As Magnae Famae becomes more successful, it becomes more expensive to do. It has come to a point now, where we need to start placing ads around Magnae Famae, so that we can pull in some revenue.

Unlike other websites, we are working with a great advertising agency, which allows us to place great, and appropriate ads on Magnae Famae.

So far, ads are only placed at the end of our articles. We think this is an optimal place for these ads to be located. (We understand that not too many people look at the sidebar!)

All though we cannot ask you to click on the ad (which pulls in revenue for us), feel free to click on the ads, if you see something interesting. These are not spam or viruses. Also, please do not click repetitively on the ads, as well, should you see an ad you would like to know more about.

If you don’t want to see the ads- ignore them.

Thanks!

A Message from Kyle Stewart; President of Tripletech Ideas

Austin MacPherson, who is the founder of WFN had this to say about the acquisition:

“I, feel quite honoured that Tripletech Ideas has bought World Financial Matters, [...] for I hope, that this lasting partnership will bring much mutual benefits to both Tripletech Ideas and World Financial Matters and that many people will take notice and interest in the current economic situations worldwide and how it matters for everyone.”

Kyle Stewart (President and Founder of Tripletech Ideas) will be posting his remarks, at World Financial Matters in a few hours.

We at Tripletech Ideas are excited to see how this acquisition goes.
