What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Media card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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 music chart and airplay-monitoring site where artists upload songs for radio stations to download, with charts for Russia, Ukraine and beyond.
It began in 2003 as a site where radio listeners voted for new artists. By 2024 more than 2,500 radio stations in 45 countries used it, and 9,000 artists, writers and labels.
In 2008: Co-founder Vadim Botnaruk was killed near his home in Moscow in January. It had over 400 partner radio stations and had begun handling music videos.
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.
