What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Creators card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2007
A microblogging platform where people post text, photos, video and links to short blogs, and reblog each other's posts.
David Karp and Marco Arment built it after waiting a year for someone else to offer tumblelogs. Yahoo paid $1.1 billion in 2013. Automattic bought it in 2019, reportedly for under $3 million.
In 2007: Launched in February and gained 75,000 users within two weeks.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
