What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2010
A social network of profile pages, blogs, photos and quizzes, founded by Michael and Xochi Birch.
At its height it overtook Myspace as the most used social network in the UK. AOL paid $850 million for it in 2008. That October it also sent 501 messages chosen by users toward the planet Gliese 581c, due to arrive in 2028.
In 2010: AOL said in April it would sell or shut the site as users drifted to Facebook. Criterion Capital Partners bought it on 16 June.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2010 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2010, then plays a short scene. Want Bebo in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
