Great roundup. There are a few calendars and resources on here I hadn't seen yet and I spend a lot of time in the calendar space.
If you haven't already, you might check out Brownbook (http://www.brownbookit.com). It is a simple calendar that allows you to accept appointment reservations online. (Disclaimer: I am a co-founder of Brownbook.)
Thanks for the always informative posts!

Hi Jamie, thanks for the information. The Brownbook order history and invoice feature look interesting.

Most of these wonderful online calendars have 1 large flaws for my personal/work use, which is playing well with other platforms.
I had to use many software and different calendars just so I could sync my outlook calendar.
I use RemoteCalendar (http://sourceforge.net/projects/remotecalendars) to sync my outlook calendar to my google calendar (and vice versa), and also I use mail2web's free Microsoft Exchange Calendar (http://live.mail2web.com/) so I could sync as well with my windows smartphone when there are changes.
so, it works like this
Exchange SmartPhone > Exchange > gCal
they all play nice with each other. All I wish for, is a way a website (hopefully a free service) that can play nice with ALL different types of calendar.
that SMS to gCal, Call to gCal (provided by jott) and also there are different softwares that could sync my outlook/exchange to gCal, made gCal the best calendar for my taste.

Thanks Andre for these two more services. Just wondering if Calgoo and GooSync serve similar purposes.

GooSync is more of a synchronization tool, while Calgoo is a full blown calendar app.
Thanks Andre. I was looking for a great Open Source Gcal Outlook Sync software. Also, WOW to mail2web. I was looking for something exactly like this several months ago and for some reason that never turned up in my results.
I can't grasp why you keep forgetting to mention ContactOffice with regards to online collaboration tools as a whole, let alone online calendaring. I mean you covered our public beta launch...
A very comprehensive collection. Thanks for listing all of them out. I am an avid user of GTD and calendars to get my tasks done and the problem always has been syncing them up between various devices and platforms.
I use an office calendar, personal calendars across email providers, mobile and a PDA. To get all these different appointments at one place was always an issue. Plaxo (the latest release) has been so good now with a nice contact management facility.
It synchronizes my Outloook Calendars at work and home, Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, Hotmail calendar etc. So it combines Calgoo, Goosync, remote calendars, scheduleworld etc as I tried each one of these. These are too many calendars, but my practice is to add anything to calendar, including To Dos wherever I am. All of my emails have contacts, their phone numbers, birthdays etc. And now, Plaxo pulls them all together. I then synchronize it with my mobile and have it all in my hand. So, when I add/update a contact or jot something down on my mobile, it gets back onto my other calendars. So, Check it out, this might be the one you are looking for.

There's also ScheduleWorld.com, which I use to sync with Outlook on my PC and Lighting on my Mac and access from the road. It's a great go-betweener.

Hope someone out there can recommend a live on-line calendar that is pass word protected and that will allow various companies to update.
We will all use different machines and browsers. It needs to have on/off tabs in the same way as MAc calendar.
Any ideas?

You can try airset.com and famundo.com. Both these services provide calendar sharing across groups and allows you to restrict access too. Airset is pretty good in group sharing.

Hey Phil,
I am not sure what exactly you will be using it for, but you might check out Backpack (http://www.backpackit.com). It allows you to have multiple users signed up and you can then see everyone else's calendar. Typically all the users are a part of the same group/project/company, but it there is no reason you couldn't add people from different companies to the account.
Hope that helps.

I have been extremely happy with Famundo as a tool for my family. It is much more than just an online calendar,

I found this one takes a different spin, it's a group calendar for clubs, organizations, families, etc. http://www.qlubb.com. It allows everyone to edit the calendar and provides a public site so that you can publish a calendar to the outside world.
I like it than some of the other ones which have a lot more features but make it difficult for others to use -- and when you are in a group, there's always a couple of people in the group who can't figure out technology as easily.
I tried using Google calendars with my group and they could never figure it out, plus they didn't wnat to create gmail accounts -- they didn't know what gmail was!

We really found Qlubb to be the easiest to use of the many online calendars for our triathlon training group.

Can anyone remember the old netscape calendar. I´m looking for a tool like that. Installed on my one server for a group of 50 people. If you wanna make a meeting you can put the overview of 3-5 calenders next to each other. It was such a great tool. I can´t find anything alike. Has anyone seen something like that?
