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 2012

A web-based news reader that gathers blogs and sites into one inbox, with likes and friends from social networks.

It sprang up after Google removed the social features from Google Reader.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
