What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2010
A one-page personal profile site that gathers links to your accounts and other pages in one place.
Ryan Freitas, Tony Conrad and Tim Young co-founded it in October 2009. AOL bought it in December 2010, and Conrad bought control back in February 2013 for a fraction of AOL's price. Broadly acquired it in 2019.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
