Power.com Sues Facebook. Is Facebook a Monopoly?

Does anyone know anything else about this. Apparently, Facebook shut down Power.com's access to Facebook. All they wanted to do was allow their users to get all their social networking in one place. You would be able to go to Power.com and see all your updates from sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Orkut, Hi5, and a few others, including Facebook.

"But in January, Facebook sued Power.com and blocked its access." ~Nicholas Carlson, Silicon Alley Insider

What I find particularly odd about this is that Power.com is not the first company to have the idea of allowing people to get their social networking from one place. I don't know for sure whether they're the first to include Facebook, I doubt it though.

Why would Facebook shut them down? This is another oddity. Facebook has been making huge strides to increase their page views lately. Maybe they're trying to hang onto every little page view they can get.

Personally, I think it's a little silly of Facebook to shut down a company who's promoting their website for them for free. It may be drawing some traffic away, but ultimately, if the people getting their updates want to post back, they'll have to do it from Facebook, won't they?
