I've been finding these two free apps very handy and easy to use and I hope you do as well.
Tripit allows you to do two things, track travel plans and make travel reservations. Just create an account and forward any itinerary to plans@tripit.com. It picks out all the key information and puts it all in one handy schedule. Once you've got that, it collects relevant information like local maps and weather, and also shares access to schedules within your network.
On the front end of the trip, you can also use their search tool to compare expedia, hotwire, travelocity, orbitz and priceline, along with some of the major airlines' sites, all in one shot. Anyone who does any amount of traveling should try it. My instinct says there are even more features to come.
SnapShots is an easy application for a quick site preview with a mouse-over. That's it. Very simple and easy to use. You can also add it to your own site for people not using snapshots to see a preview. Try it and you'll be amazed at how un-animated a regular url looks without it.
