Do you use a web calendar that isn't Google ? Can you recommend it ?

I want to find a service which provides similar functionality to Google Calendar but which has a strong privacy policy (the terms of service for Google Calendar gives me the creeps).

* It needs to be business oriented (cozi.com looks to be family/kids oriented).

* Able to accept and reply to Outlook/Exchange generated invites.

* Able to share calendars between multiple users of your choosing.

Would be interested to hear recommendations. There seem to be remarkably few offerings in this space.

Does it have to be free?

Response by poster: No - free/pay either is fine.

I suppose it's worth saying though that I'm not an Outlook user so hosted Exchange offerings are not going to be a solution for me.

Zoho Calendar?

I use Windows Live Calendar. http://calendar.live.com

It works great. Especially with Outlook - once you install the Windows Live Essentials: http://get.live.com

Response by poster: @misterbrandt : Thanks for that. I've had a go but I cannot find a way of accepting and replying to Outlook/Exchange generated invites within Zoho. Is this something you do yourself ?

Okay, I take it back. I just played around with it for a little while, and I would not recommend Zoho. What I thought was good Outlook support listed on their site is actually just their "sync" plugin. So never mind, sorry.

Perhaps 30boxes will fit the bill. [privacy, faq]

Cozi!

The fabulous thing is that it displays on your Chumby device.

And I like that you can add multiple people and color-code them, which makes seeing conflicts, etc very easy.

I used 30boxes for a while. I liked it, but I liked Google Calendar's integration with gmail etc. more.

Response by poster: @hal_c_on : mobileme seems only to be for people who own an Apple made device ? Or am I misunderstanding ?

Response by poster: @komara - I did wonder about 30boxes . I know it's a strange way to judge but it just looked a bit 'old'. A lot dates in the FAQ etc are from five years ago. Do you use it yourself ?

@rich - Thanks for your response. As mentioned in the question I'm interested in something for business and cozi seems to be home/family oriented
