What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Tech 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.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 2005
An archive that saved a snapshot of a web page at the moment a scholar or blogger cited it, as a cure for link rot.
Gunther Eysenbach conceived it in 1997. It officially launched in October 2005, was one of the first services to archive pages on demand, and by 2008 over 200 journals used it routinely. It stopped taking new requests in 2019.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2005 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2005, then plays a short scene. Want WebCite in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
