What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to the next card you play.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 0 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
A Romanian software download and tech news site that indexes, reviews and hosts programs.
Two Romanian students began it as softnews.ro, then switched to English and softpedia.com because the Romanian audience was too small. Staff reviews carry a rating from one to five stars.
In 2006: Earned 1.6 million euros, 95 per cent of it from outside Romania.
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.
