What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
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.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 1996
A metasearch engine that sent your query to several search engines and gathered the results together.
Aaron Flin built it because the results from existing indexes varied so much. It also searched Usenet and FTP sites, and won J.D. Power awards in 2006 and 2007.
In 1996: Began operation in November, drawing on Yahoo!, Lycos, Excite, WebCrawler, Infoseek, AltaVista, HotBot and others.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
