What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to a random card in your hand.

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.

Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.

The site, in 2010

Google's video service, first a search over TV transcripts, then a place to host clips and embed them elsewhere, much like YouTube.

It ran from January 2005 to August 2012. Google staff recorded lectures for it, mostly at the universities where they had studied. After Google bought YouTube, new uploads stopped in 2009.

In 2010: New uploads had ended the year before. The service was shut down on 20 August 2012.

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.
