What it does
Ongoing: At a Creators location, +2 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2005
A photo-sharing community where members uploaded pictures, added tags, followed contacts and pooled photos in groups.
Ludicorp, the Vancouver company of Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake, built it from tools for its web game Game Neverending and launched it in February 2004. It made tags, favourites and group pools familiar, and hosts the web's largest set of Creative Commons photos.
In 2005: Yahoo bought Ludicorp on 20 March for a reported $22 to $25 million, and in late June every photo moved from Canadian to US servers.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2005 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2005, then plays a short scene. Want Flickr in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
