What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2007
A live video streaming platform that began as Ustream in 2007 and became part of IBM in 2016.
Ustream's founders started it so friends in the US Army in Iraq could keep in touch with their families. IBM bought it in 2016, for up to $150 million, and renamed it IBM Cloud Video in 2018, then Watson Media.
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.
