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.

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.

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: @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
