London 2012 link to be removed from MF header

Leave a reply

The title says it all. On August 27th, we will be removing the London 2012 category link from the header.

The link however will always work (here’s the link!). However, when we begin our Sochi 2014 coverage, the category will be renamed to simply Olympics, if the link stops working replace london-2012-olympics with olympics at the end of the link.

Thanks so much for following our London 2012 coverage. It was very exciting, and Magnae Famae had amazing stats every single day of the games.

For more site news, we have a site news page! We hope to update it more frequently in the future. For even more information, check out the Tripletech Ideas Development Blog.

Our ‘Sister Site’: Your FAQ officially launches today!

Leave a reply

Your FAQ is the second project from Tripletech Ideas to actually make it out of beta.

But what is Your FAQ? 

“Your FAQ (FAQ standing for Frequently Asked Questions), is a how-to, Q&A, Information and Tips/Tricks project. Your FAQ is a great source for information of all kinds. The project was founded on October 1st, 2012 by Austin MacPherson and Kyle Stewart.

Kyle Stewart tends to write about techy things for Your FAQ and Austin MacPherson has a successful column called How did that start?, mainly about World Affairs, as he puts it.

Your FAQ will also be a reliable source for trusted downloads. We test out each product that we recommend (Example: Google Chrome). We test it out and we often give it a rating. We will also give a trusted download link. Mainly free products will be posted.”

Even more questions are answered in this article, which is published at Your FAQ.

In case you didn’t realize, Austin MacPherson and Kyle Stewart are both authors here at Magnae Famae as well as Your FAQ.

We are very excited to have Your FAQ with us in the Tripletech Ideas universe! This project has been in the works for quite sometime.

But this isn’t it, project-wise for Tripletech Ideas. On March 2nd, 4 The Gleek, a news website made especially for Gleeks will be launched in beta. We also have a few more projects ‘up our sleeves’.

Enjoy Your FAQ!

Magnae Famae: A History

2 Replies

Today is the One-Year Anniversary of the Magnae Famae Project starting. The project was officially launched to the public on January 11th, 2011.

I started off 2011 by working on a Brand new project with Luc and Sophie Moulaison.  At first we called the project No.bilem, but then changed it to Magnae Famae thanks to the guidance of Jane Barter Moulaison. The project would be a news website and would replace the existing Kyle File Blog after Luc made this comment to me:

“…I also think I know one reason why The Kyle File isn’t succeeding very well. Maybe you should rename it. It’s kinda like Mark Zuckerburg calling Facebook “The Mark Book” or Steve Jobs calling the iPod the “The StevePod”. Maybe it isn’t working.”

So we thought of many names from Bookmark to iKnow…

  • MediaCentre
  • YourNewsSource
  • MEdia, Socialite, YourChoice, Webitis
  • Urweb, yourweb (later would help inspire the name yourfaq)
  • iTech, iMedia, iNews, iNow, iToday
  • InteractiveBuddy,Inyourhands, Coast2Coast

iReadr was not in use in the domain system, so we almost decided to call it that. Until, Sophie said that it sounded like something Apple would call a book thing. So we started making more suggestions, our inboxes receiving a hundred notifications every 3 minutes. I suggested that we use a latin word. So we did, and we came up with Nobilem. We went ahead with that name and everyone made a logo. As I said earlier, Jane told us that technically Nobilem didn’t make sense as a name and we should rethink or use Magnae Famae. We all agreed to use Magnae Famae. That day we also decided to call our vidcast The Key Panel.

We started the project on January 9th at 8:39PM.

Luc made the final logo that we would decide to use, and a slightly changed version is still being used today. He also created the mini icon with the m.f in it that we recently changed.

Working for Magnae Famae was a great honor and experience. I am no longer working for MF but I’m still a supporter. It has evolved a lot since we first started it, and it still continues to evolve. Care and Share!

We are sorry

Leave a reply

We are very sorry. Magnae Famae has been hacked by a past employee. Our volunteers may have opinions on political parties, and occupy wall street, as they should. But Magnae Famae, as an organization does not have an opinion on these issues. We exist to report the news that we believe you want to know, or that many of you want to know in as much of an un-bias way as possible, without writing an editorial or opinion. Al though we do publish The Opinion of Kyle Stewart, it is always clearly stated that this is an article that contains opinions. Very few times are opinions stated, in articles besides of others, mainly Public Figures in quotation.

Every volunteer we have gratefully received has been asked to keep strong opinions out of their articles unless necessary, or in quotations.

For your information, it has been confirmed the hack was not done by Sophie Moulaison.

We apologize for this. The content of the hack will remain on Magnae Famae for the next few hours.

Thank you,

Tripletech Ideas Public Relations Team.
