What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 1999
UserLand's list of recently updated weblogs, which became the ping server that blog software told whenever a new post went up.
Launched in late 1999 as a free crawler; from October 2001 most blog tools pinged it, and services such as Technorati and Feedster read its list. VeriSign bought the ping server from Dave Winer in 2005 in a $2.3 million deal.
In 1999: Launched late in the year by UserLand Software as a free, sign-up crawler that watched weblogs for changes.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
