What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 2005
A website where visitors wrote and shared short summaries of books, articles and other writing.
Avner Avrahami and Avi Shaked founded it in early 2005. By 2008 it had 1.8 million summaries in 34 languages and about six million visitors a month, and popular writers could earn a share of its revenue.
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.
