I'm currently working on the following types of web sites and apps:ecommerce like AmazonReservation system (think of a hotel receptionist checking rooms availability)Invoice management like FreshbookOn Amazon, I didn't notice any breadcrumbs, just facets from the left panel.  However, newegg is using both breadcrumbs and facets.In a management system like hotel reservations or invoice management, you usually have unique reservation or customer number that you search through your system.  Each reservation can then expand to more sections, for instance:Reservations    > Reservation #123456        > Guests        > Room        > Airport pickup        > PaymentIn each unique reservation page, I'm using breadcrumbs to show the location of the current page relative to the site.  Is that a good method to present that kind of information?  Should I use tabs or other techniques?
Are breadcrumbs still a viable way to navigate web sites and web apps?

I find breadcrumbs a very useful feature.  I particularly like it on ecommerce sites where I might be in and out of a lot of different category products.  Its a wonderful tool that should be used more often and doesn't require a lot of screen real estate to implement.
