Google purchased real-time document collaboration startup AppJet to fortify the Google Wave real-time collaboration platform Dec. 4.

Now EtherPad is no longer accepting new customers and anyone who have registered an e-mail address with EtherPad will be e-mailed an invitation to join the Google Wave preview by December 31, 2009. EtherPad users are angry and Graham’s explanation of why AppJet quit is unlikely to appease them.
