What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 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 2001
A business networking site where members posted profiles of their work and schooling, linked to friends and joined interest groups called tribes.
Adrian Scott, a San Francisco engineer and early Napster investor, built it in 2001 after running networking mixers. It had over 15,000 members by October 2002 and influenced Friendster, which in turn influenced Facebook.
In 2001: Founded in the summer by Adrian Scott, so people from his Web of Finance mixers could keep in touch between events.
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.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
