iCal Exchange
If you use Apple iCal but don't have a .Mac account you can still share your calendar with friends and family through iCal Exchange. iCal Exchange is a free service that allows you to publish and subscribe to iCal calendars.
Calendars can be published privately, which require a username and a password, or publicly, which only require a username to subscribe.
Using iCal Exchange is free, but if you want multiple passwords so people can subscribe to your private calendar without having your main account password, there is a $1 per month fee. There also appears to be plans to showcase some of the public calendars later.
One other good feature of iCal Exchange is that it works with iCal and the Mozilla calendar feature, so you can share a calendar from an iMac with someone using Windows.
