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 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2007
A feed aggregator that gathered updates from social networks, blogs, photo sites and any RSS feed into one stream you could comment on with friends.
Four former Google staff made it in 2007: Bret Taylor, Jim Norris, Paul Buchheit and Sanjeev Singh. Facebook agreed to buy it in August 2009 for $15 million in cash and $32.5 million in stock, and it closed in April 2015.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
