Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.
The site, in 2006
A collaborative mushroom website where people post photographs of fungi they have found and help one another name them.
Started in 2006 by Nathan Wilson. About 12,000 contributors settle names by weighted voting, the photos carry Creative Commons licences, and the software is open source.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
