What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2005

A blog of cute animal photos and videos with jokey commentary, its own evolving 'Rules of Cuteness' and slang coined with its readers.

Meg Frost started it in September 2005. It won the 2006 Webby People's Voice award for blogs and the 2007 Bloggie for Best American Weblog, and closed in January 2016.

In 2005: Meg Frost launched it in September.

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

Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
