I received this post in the mail and thought I would pass it along

Facebook is trying to control the market by only allowing business interests
that that cater to them. It is using its massive monopoly to simply crush
its competion.

"When Microsoft crushed Netscape, it did so by controlling the platform and
making the alternative seem unnecessary, but it would have been unthinkably
brutish for them to disallow another browser," he wrote." But what the App
Store and Facebook are doing makes Microsoft's actions look positively
charitable."
