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.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2004
A web service for saving and sharing citations to academic papers, a social bookmarking site for researchers.
Richard Cameron built it in November 2004. Users tagged papers, imported them from sources like PubMed, and built a folksonomy of academic interests. It closed on 30 March 2019.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
