G.A.F.A.M. We Replace G.A.F.A.M. true 2022-05-08T14:49:00.670Z markdown 2022-05-07T21:23:00.303Z

GAFAM is an acronym that refers to Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft: in other words, the giants of the Internet that leave us all small. Here, we would like to propose an alternative. 

We adhere to the Contract for the Web. The way we do it is already what we do.

As much as it's a wink, it's a nice categorization of our different digital services. As all services are under LesGrandsVoisins.com with the supervision and governance of Les Grands Voisins, we are consistent with ourselves and have no interest in sharing our data with the outside world normally. From the user's point of view, the navigation between the domain names is intended to be transparent. 

Les Grands Voisins, AGoodVillage.com also provides digital services. These digital services are already covered by the conglomerate GAFAM: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft. Well, A Good Village can provide those services as well without a need for them, with the following names under gafam.us.

The names dont have to be perfectly remembered. They only need to be strong strongly plausible. They are alternative domain names for services already provided by AGoodVillage.com.

Googlehood.com handles everything public-facing institutional website-related for Villagers including directory of Villagers, tools for website authoring, a search engine, a news portal, and images search, videos, etc.

The logo for this service could be a letter G with a Robin-Hood hat, a bow and a quiver of arrows.

Amasage.com: e-Commerce

Amasage.com is a plateform for buying and selling with shipping and customer service.

The logo could be two buildings, or a village with an arrow-smile from one building to the next.

Faceagora.com: Social Media

Faceagora.com is a place for Villagers to exist and express ourselves individually and in collective groups.

The logo could be an f with a toga and a crown.

Appgv.com: Integrated Application Environment

Appgv.com provides a central launch bar and menu for different and useful applications. Villagers work with files, emails, contacts, calendar, passwords, etc. This is also where the core accounts may reside.

The logo could be a house with a bit taken out of it.

Mycraftsoft.com: ProAm Computer Stuff

Mycraftsoft.com provides best-effort mastery of computer stuff though professional and amature help.

The logo could be just the word Mycraftsoft, but maybe with something that would imply craftsmanship.
