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.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2006

An American company that built widgets for MySpace and apps for Facebook and other social networks.

Lance Tokuda and Jia Shen founded it in late 2005 with a slideshow widget. A December 2009 breach exposed over 32 million accounts, with passwords stored in plain text. It filed for bankruptcy in February 2019.

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.
