What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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 2013

A site for hosting short looping videos and GIFs, founded by Richard Rabbat, Dan McEleney and Jeff Harris.

Its name was said JIF-ee-kat. It launched in 2013, passed 130 million monthly users in 2017, and went offline on 1 September 2023, three years after Snap bought it.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
