What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to the next card you play.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2008
A free film and TV database that anyone can add to, with an open interface that other apps can use.
Its own history page says every piece of data was added by its community, back to 2008. More than 1.5 million developers and companies use its API, and it supports 39 languages.
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.
