What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2004
A free social network for music fans, where members shared their music libraries and streamed each other's songs as webcasts.
Formerly Mercora, it took the name social.fm in September 2007. Its catalogue reached over three million songs by more than 200,000 artists, all free to stream. It shut down in August 2008.
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.
