What it does
When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.
When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 1997
A social network where members listed friends, family and acquaintances, messaged people up to three degrees away and saw how they linked to anyone else.
Andrew Weinreich's company launched it in 1997, years before Friendster, MySpace and Facebook. It reached about 3.5 million members, was bought by YouthStream for $125 million in December 1999 and shut a year later.
In 1997: Launched this year by MacroView, the New York company Weinreich had founded in May 1996.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
