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!

We regret to announce…

We have some disappointing news to share today.

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.

Tripletech Ideas joins the Internet Defense League

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.
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.
There’s more about future threats, targets, and The League on the site. I hope you’ll join me.
Thank you. More to come on the free web, and our mission with the Internet Defense League.

Why am I seeing Ads around Magnae Famae?

You may be asking “Why am I seeing Ads around Magnae Famae, now?”

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!

New ads developed for Your FAQ and 4 The Gleek

We have developed some new ads for Your FAQ and 4 The Gleek.

These ads are only displayed on other projects from Tripletech Ideas, we currently don’t advertise elsewhere.

The 4 The Gleek ad was developed in Paint.NET and GIMP. The ad is currently displayed at both Magnae Famae and at Your FAQ.

 The Your FAQ ad is replacing an older version. This new version was made to better descirbe what Your FAQ’s main idea is. The ad was put together in GIMP. The ad is currently on display at Magnae Famae and at 4 The Gleek.

A ad for Magnae Famae is currently in the works. What do you think of the ads? Leave a comment below.
