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 2006
A social cataloguing site where readers list the books they own and want, rate and review them, and join book groups.
Otis Chandler wanted to recreate browsing a friend's bookshelf, and he and Elizabeth Khuri Chandler founded it in 2006. Amazon bought it in 2013. By September 2023 it had over 150 million members.
In 2006: Founded in December by Otis Chandler and Elizabeth Khuri Chandler, ahead of its public launch in January 2007.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
