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.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 2007
A cloud-based start page where you arrange your web links as a grid of coloured buttons.
Pages of buttons, called webmixes, can be shared by link. It can be set as a browser homepage and is mainly used in education. By 2015 it had 6 million users.
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.
