What it does
When you play a card here: +2 Power to this card.
When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2005
A library of sparkly animated GIFs to decorate your Myspace page.
It offered glitter text, blinkies and animated backgrounds, plus tools to make your own. Myspace let members edit the HTML of their own profiles, so the decorations could be pasted straight in.
In 2005: Myspace, the network this site served, was bought by News Corporation this year for $580 million.
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.
