It was lightweight and easy to share with collaborators "and it was so good that it could have potentially poised a threat to Google Docs.Which is why it wasn't surprising when Google acquired the company in December 2009. The app was eventually open sourced as the team went to work on the ill-fated Google Wave, andEtherpad's servers were shut down.
