What it does

When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.

When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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

One of the earliest online diary sites, where members got their own page, chose a template and linked each other's diaries as buddies.

Andrew Smales, who had earlier made the weblog service Pitas, launched it in September 1999 for people who did not know HTML. By 2001 it had about 175,000 users, roughly two thirds of them teenagers.

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

Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
