What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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
An ever-growing chain of photos, each showing a cat gazing at the previous cat's picture on a computer screen.
Graphic designer Mike Stanfill started it after one forum member posted a photo of a cat staring at another member's cat photo. Owners pull up the latest picture, sit their cat in front of it and send in the shot; the site gives tips on getting cats to cooperate.
In 2004: Already a growing chain by August, when The Spokesman-Review wrote it up.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
