What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 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 2011
A social music site where people gathered in themed rooms as cartoon avatars, took turns as DJs and chatted while voting songs 'awesome' or 'lame'.
Billy Chasen's team built it in early 2011 after their app Stickybits failed to catch on. It opened in May, had 140,000 active users by late June and raised $7 million in July, but it was US-only and shut in December 2013.
In 2011: Opened in May and went viral within weeks; investors in its July round included Lady Gaga and Kanye West.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
