What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2008

A website and app for posting pictures to Twitter, back when Twitter could not carry photos itself.

A passenger, Janis Krums, posted a picture of the US Airways plane in the Hudson River through it in January 2009, before the news crews arrived. The service closed in October 2014 and Twitter took over its archive.

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.
