Google Calendar for Google Apps allows you to do this if you have the Premier or Enterprise edition of Google Apps.
It looks like regular Google Calendar allows you to do this as well.
In Google's vocabulary, these things are called "resources" and are usually rooms.

There's no standard way to do this. There is however, a Labs feature which shows time to the next event on the sidebar. But again not on the title.

Try Trello.
You can create cards which are the tasks and users can then assign a card to themselves or to others. Clicking on a specific card will give you the history of the changes that have occurred (ex. John assigned this card to himself). You can also set up lists such as ToDo, Doing, and Done. Cards can then be moved to each list as the status ...

I ended up writing my own utility for this purpose, Schedule Creator. I optimized it for a specific data input method, but you could use a spreadsheet app to get your data in the right format and then paste it into my utility.

If you just want a calendar that anyone in your company can see and add their own vacation time, then I suggest Google Calendar. You can easily create a calendar and share among many people.
You might take it one step further and go with Google Apps. That way you could just open the calendar to the entire company instead of having to invite/remove people ...

Unfortunately, stu.dicio.us seems to be unavailable at the moment but hopefully will return. Notely has scheduling tools and was a web app once upon a time but now seems to be available for download.
Alternatively, you can set up Zoho Planner to manage a timetable and various blog posts around discussing ways to customise this for students but I imagine ...

There's no way to do this through the Google Calendar web app since it's built for interacting with one event at a time. See:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=27e916d34ae71145&hl=en
You might be able to accomplish this using a third-party client such as Thunderbird or Outlook.
Of course, if you wanted to you could write a ...

I don't think there is an easy answer here besides having to recreate the recurring meeting.
There are a few Google Product forum discussions on the issue, but no good resolution. The only certain fix (for events in the future) is to turn on 1-way sync (Outlook --> Google)
Here is one of the latest threads about the issue (with no resolution).
You can try ...

Have you looked into Google Apps? Its calendar sharing features seem to match your requirements.
It is syncable with Outlook, accessible from smartphones (either via syncing or a web GUI), and certainly has a calendar GUI.
Taking notes from meetings could be done via Google+, or a Google Doc attached to the meeting invitation.

One option is to change your calendar's time zone while you are in the other time zone. I don't really like that option, but I discovered that you can add additional time zones to your calendar's display. Go to the calendar settings, and right below the time zone you can select an additional time zone to display.

Google Calendar can have different clanedars with different time zones. In the left menu where it says "My Calendars" click the little dropwdown arrow and click "Calendar settings". You'll be taken to a page dedicated to settings for that calendar and near the middle of the page is "Calendar Time Zone."
There you can change the time zone for that one ...

Go to "Share this Calendar", tick "Make this calendar public", and "Share only my free/busy information". Then, under "Calendar Details" there's a section "Calendar Address" with links to XML, iCal, and HTML versions of the public calendar. You can embed the HTML into an iframe on your website, or just send people the link.

I came across some of these web apps which are based on Coveys 7 Habits of Highly Effective People . Haven't tried it myself though.

One of the best comparisons I've found is actually this table from toodledo, even though they are comparing their competition I think they do a fairly honest job.
I am going to go out on a limb a little bit and say you might want to look at some project management tools as well. They might fit your needs, but can also get very complex if you're just looking ...

I found a free service that looks reasonable for my needs listed in the question: http://www.mixxt.net/ It offers your own free social network including
mail all members functionality,
events,
news,
forum,
wiki,
blogs,
pictures,
private messaging
and much more, in fact anything you could think of.
The free version just displays some mixxt adverts and ...

Hmmm, that's a lot of functionality.
I think Redmine does most of those things, but it's really a tool to help with managing software projects.
I admit it's a crazy idea, and you still would have to set up a server, but you could make it work.
Other than that, I don't see a lot of alternatives to Google's services.

Have a look at Internet Calendar Sharing. It sounds like what you want, but give Exchange 2010 SP1 and Exchange Online (Office 365) Calendaring FAQ a read over (from the Exchange team blog) and see if it is what you're looking for.

If you want to create a web application yourself, the JQuery FullCalendar Plugin is probably the closest to what you're looking for:
http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/
However you'll need to hack it up a bunch to do what you want.
If you want to use an existing web application, www.ticketfly.com seems similar to what you're trying to do.
Here's an example:

You can do that with Google Calendar as well, just set the default view to day and you are set.
Go to Calendar settings
In the General tab look for Default view and set it to day (it's somewhere at the middle of the page)
Click Save

That seems to be something that only works properly in the "Premium" version of the Outlook Web Access interface.
Pre-Exchange 2010 the only web browser supported for OWA Premium is Internet Explorer 6+ on Windows, they don't code for or test with any other browser and the code uses IE specific code that doesn't work with other browsers.
Outlook Web App ...

There are different versions of OWA floating around but the current version, Outlook Web App (formerly Outlook Web Access) has icons at the top to switch views.
I cannot remember how it was done in earlier versions.

I would try a few of the sites mentioned in this article of Alternatives to Google Calendar.
My sense is Google Calendar is the best option because it is free, accessible from mobile devices, web, etc., and like you mentioned it puts the responsibility on the individual to maintain their own calendar.

You should be able to do this with Doodle: http://doodle.com/
Create an event for your 3 dates, then restrict the selections for to limit the participant to one per event.
You can look at a test here or here for the admin interface
(I couldn't find how to add more description for each timeslot though)

Take a look at reqall Adding a reminder by email is for Pro accounts only, but the free accounts lets you add items via IM, web, phone call, smartphone apps, and it's really good at handling natural language inputs. There is iCal support as well as Google Calendar integration.

I finally figured it out while doing some cleaning in my Google Contacts.
For those who are wondering how to fix the problem I was having do the following:
Export Google contacts to a file on your PC
Delete all contacts from your Google account
Restore the file you just exported.
When I did that it refreshed/reloaded all my contacts and cleaned up the ...

Your best bet is probably to get Google Calendar to sync to Thunderbird/iCal on a Desktop or iPhone/iPod touch/Android device and have that device do the reminding. You will know for certain that the offline calendar will work if your events are synching to that device's calendar.
Here are a number of "send future email" options:

I am using RememberTheMilk and it has been working fine for me. There are two account types, free (what I use) & pro. They have a number of apps (for iPhone etc) as well as supporting setting up tasks by email.
Another one I have seen is HiTask. I haven't used it as much, but it comes in 3 levels, free, premium & business.
