What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2007
A social site for sharing messages, files, events and links with friends, started by Kevin Rose, Leah Culver and Daniel Burka.
It launched in June 2007 and opened to the public in January 2008. Six Apart announced it had bought Pownce on 1 December 2008 and closed it two weeks later.
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.
