Heard of Power.com? Well, you’re probably going to hear a lot more about it in the weeks and months to come. Essentially, Power.com is a platform that allows you to communicate across all your favorite social networking sites from ONE place.

Power.com works like this. You register with your preferred social networks. Then you use your Power.com home page to view all the content from those various social sites – friends, chats, emails, images, etc. You can then use Power to send and receive messages, change your profile, and update your friends or followers list… and do so across all your social networks.

Power.com currently works with Facebook, Hi5, MSN, MySpace and Orkut, and is scheduled to work with LinkedIn, Twitter, Flickr, Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL and Skype within the next few months.

Given its, um, power, you can probably see why Power already has 5 million registered users.

Of course, it helps to have, among other things, a link to Power on every message that is sent via the Power.com platform!

Even so, it’s selling proposition is so compelling that the company’s vision of 30 million registered users by the end of 2009 is probably realistic.

The company also has some serious backing – it has received $8 million in Series A funding from investors including venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson and tech visionary and entrepreneur Esther Dyson.

Based in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, Power.com is a privately held company with 70 employees. It’s opening new offices in San Francisco, California and Hyderabad, India.
