What it does
When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.
When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.
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.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2008
A French site of short stories sent in by readers about everyday misfortunes, each ending with 'VDM', which other readers rate and comment on.
Maxime Valette started it in January 2008 from mishaps he joked about with friends, and it became a French phenomenon, with a book and a TV series. Its English version, launched in 2009, is FMyLife.
In 2008: Two months after launch it had 40,000 visits a day; the founders went on Le Grand Journal in April, and a book of 850 stories came out in October.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
