  citeulike (easy to use) can import and export BibTeX. And there is  
refbase that I use myself and like  a lot, but I don't know how much  
you know about webservers, sql-databases etc.

http://refdb.sourceforge.net/ and http://www.aigaion.nl/ might also be  
interesting

There are for sure more online tools, both commercial and non- 
commercial....

I think the mayor problem is to define where and in which format yur  
"master-database" is stored. I am using myself the approach that I  
have a local (!) BibTeX-File that I am editing with BibDesk and where  
I can use all its great features when it comes to editing BibTeX- 
files. This file is then used to feed www.deabib.org. You could use a  
similar approach if it matters most that you can access your  
bibliography from everywhere.

If you define your the online version as master, you can only use  
those bibtex-types and fields that are supported by the import/export  
function of the online-tool. So smart groups, or fields like  
"SuperWichtigLesenJetzt" probably can't be used.

Maybe the best idea is to try citeulike and see if it fits your needs,  
how it behaves when you import and export data etc - depends a lot on  
the details of your workflow....

Hope this helps -

Daniel
