What it does
Ongoing: At a Social location, +2 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 2013
An open-source microblogging service run by developer Evan Prodromou, built as a free-software alternative to Twitter.
It had features Twitter lacked, such as XMPP support and personal tag clouds, and could feed your notices into a Twitter account. It later moved to new software, pump.io, which dropped the 140-character limit.
In 2013: Closed to new sign-ups after December 2012, then switched to pump.io software on 12 July.
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.
