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 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2006
A pop music blog that follows singles, artists and gossip, launched by Gawker Media in 2006.
Gawker Media started it in September 2006 and sold it to Buzznet in 2008. Hive Media took it on in 2016, along with Buzznet and PureVolume.
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.
