What it does

Ongoing: +2 Power to your other Web 2.0 cards here.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.

The site, in 2008

Apple's store for iPhone and iPad apps, later widened to Mac apps as well.

Steve Jobs first wanted outside developers to make only web apps, and until the store opened people had to jailbreak their phones to install others. Its name became the generic term for any mobile software shop.

In 2008: Opened on 10 July with 500 apps, the day before the iPhone 3G went on sale.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
