What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 1997
A movie recommendation site where you rate films and it suggests others, using the ratings of members with similar tastes.
GroupLens Research at the University of Minnesota built it in 1997 to gather data on personalised recommendations. Its ratings have since been widely used as a dataset by recommender-system researchers.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
