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 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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.

In 2007: From August, Google hosted wire stories from AFP, the Associated Press, the Press Association and the Canadian Press.
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.
