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 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 2004

A San Francisco social network where members built profiles and friend lists, hugely popular in Latin America.

By 2007 it was the second largest social network after Myspace. In 2009 it refocused on social games, and Tagged bought its assets in December 2011.

In 2004: It had raised $250,000 from angel investors, and had been profitable since its first year.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
