Farecast
Shel Israel blogs about an interesting travel site called Farecast. The basic idea behind Farecast is that it tries to predict whether ticket prices will rise or fall. Every traveler knows the dilemma: Ticket prices bounce up and down for no apparent reason. So often, when one doesn't find the rate one is looking for, it is a good idea to try again a few hours or days later. But sometimes of course, fares go up!
Farecast could be a pretty cool service if it works reasonably well. Right now it is still in beta and works with 2 starting cities only (Seattle and Boston).
