What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

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.

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

The site, in 2000

A search engine for open source code, covering thousands of projects held in hundreds of repositories.

Black Duck Software announced it would buy its assets in April 2008. By September 2009 the index passed 2.4 billion lines of code. It merged with Ohloh Code in October 2012.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
