Less Clicks to Cheap Flights, Cars and Hotels

Just came across the revamped Booking Buddy site from Smarter Living Travel, and while I don't think it's quite "there" yet, it's got promise. Here's the deal: Booking Buddy is "designed to help travelers search all their favorite travel websites with fewer clicks and in less time." With Booking Buddy, you just enter your pertinent travel information once, and can then choose to search for airfare, car rental, or hotel from a selection of the most popular travel sites. Here's my problem, you still have to click to search each individual travel site...Booking Buddy doesn't search all the sites for you at the same time. So while there's some time savings, it still takes a lot of time to click through (and wait) for each of the sites to return results. Seems Smarter Living could make Booking Buddy even smarter. Then, it'd be a real friend when it comes to bargain travel.
