What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2005

A Berlin social network for students whose name is short for Studentenverzeichnis, or students' directory.

It claimed over 15 million members across Europe by September 2009, mostly in German-speaking countries, then declined. It was declared insolvent in 2017, shifted to social games, and shut for good in March 2022.

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.
