A Web 2.0 PIM for your personal web 2.0 life and for group(s).
AirSet (http://www.airset.com/) is good. I tested it over the weekend and all in all it has a lot of power under the hood to get you and your groups organized. My personal motivation was that I am looking for a nice and easy event calendar for a German community on the web. What I found with AirSet is kind of a 'Web 2.0-PIM-Blog with granular rights management' under an easy GUI.
Negative is that you can't use a German SMS number to get reminders. Everything is English only (or did I miss the preference?). And the service feels sometimes pretty slow.
Positive is that I could immediately sync my Palm Desktop addresses and calendar with AirSet - very smooth, fast and easy compared i.e. with Yahoos syncing options. On Windows it's a cool download, install and sync operation - very impressive.
Great is that you get a huge load of shareable services which are not really 'personal calendar' like anymore. You can share and publish everything in groups created by yourself including a homepage ... and off course to other groups you belong to. You get a blog - yes. A good Address book, a pretty decent link database. Well and the possibility to have multiple lists, no problem to organize different to-do lists or task lists.
Last not least you have the possibility to have a master group which is like a parent calendar. You get all the dates from the master calendar. So every department can have his own group PIM but by just creating and making a master group you get the companies dates in every sub-calendar
OK, the calendar - I couldn't find any glitches. Yes, you can import iCal data. Nice is that you can schedule a time to get a schedule-by-mail for the next day.
Resume: Check it out! Recommended!

Airset best of bunch probably
Just wish I could update Airset, spongecell, Basecamp, etc from an ical client like Sunbird or ical.
ICal can be subscribed ...
AirSet calendars can subscribe to iCal. You just have to have an application which updates the iCal file. That was the first thing I did to get some useful entries in the group calendar.
To make it clear; AirSet has two possibilities: a) you can import i.e. iCal and b) you can subscribe to iCal. If you then publish your group calender the subscribed events are going to be in the group calendar.
