France is for Gays and Damn Dirty Jews, Both of which own Hollywood
A few suggestions to the links above; i'll try to make a better list some other time, but here's a start:

OTAs: cheaptickets, expedia, hotels.com, hotwire, orbitz, priceline, and travelocity. Priceline and Hotwire are a little different due to their opaque model and a lot of people have great luck getting ridiculous deals on those sites. There are forums dedicated to bidding methods and all that. Plus, Priceline is really killing the competition among the OTA set right now.

Meta search: kayak bought sidestep and seems to be making it take a dive. Mobissimo does very cool stuff, and farecompare is another decent meta search alternative to Kayak.

Some personal favorites in the planning/group travel category: igougo, wayn, tripadvisor, tripcart, groople, imin, yapta, and there are billions more of really cool webby-type things that make group travel and planning not only simpler, but really cool.

Keep an eye out for suppliers (particularly hotel suppliers) doing cool stuff with user generated content and other weird/new things.
