What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2009
Andrew Badr's infinite grid of text that any visitor can write on, with everyone else's typing appearing on screen as it happens.
Badr launched it in 2009 as a shared wall with no edges: everyone starts in the same place, can scroll in any direction and writes over each other in real time. Google lists it on its Experiments site.
In 2009: Launched this year as one public world, plus private worlds people could make for themselves or their friends.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
