First Facebook, Now MySpace - Power.com Denied

Social network aggregator Power.com was off to a hot start when it launched in late November . The service, which lets users access and share content among several social networking sites at once, raised $5 million in venture financing from Silicon Valley-based Draper Fisher Jurvetson and attracted a whopping 5 million users during its private beta period. Things were looking good. Then Facebook sued them for inappropriately storing user credetials and scraping data from the Facebook site. That lawsuit has since been resolved , although Power had to make significant changes to its service. Now, MySpace says they've blocked Power.com from accessing user accounts for similar reasons.
