What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 1996
A community website that asked members to rate music, later films and websites too, and used their ratings to recommend more and connect like-minded people.
It grew from HOMR, a music recommender built in Pattie Maes's group at the MIT Media Lab, and was one of the first sites to use collaborative filtering. Microsoft bought it in April 1998, and its team built the first Microsoft Passport.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
