Publishing
Citeline was a tool for publishing bibliographies and citation collections on the web. It takes a BibTex file exported from Endnotes, Refworks and similar tools and turns the collection into an interactive, shareable exhibit. Citeline citation collections may also be exported in a variety of formats, such as BibTex, JSON, XML or tab-separated values. The Citeline project has been retired, and the website is no longer available. Information about Citeline is currently only available via the Internet Archive.
Collaboration
CiteULike is a free service to help you to store, organise and share the scholarly papers you are reading.

CiteULike automatically extracts the citation details, so there's no need to type them in yourself. It all works from within your web browser so you can access it from any computer with an Internet connection. CiteULike supports annotation and rating of items, and upload of attachments (e.g. PDF file). (Attachments are only accessible privately by individual users). Bibliographic entries can be imported singly or in batches using BibTex or RIS formats.
