Luxury blogs, user generated review sites, and arrigated travel news sites will also do well. When people can't buy what they want when they want, they engage in heavy research to lengthen or replace the experience of buying.
Don't forget about education. Arrigated or micro educational sites will increase in value.
I also foresee a growing demand for health information online. The first generation of internet exposed people is starting to age. Combined with the negative effects of war and economic pressures, the median age of North American people is increasing and as a result, health concerns will flourish.
The bottom line is look past the current economic forecast to real, sustainable content. The web is completely driven by content and if you can match content with prospective, you'll have an online success.

For a very comprehensive look at the various business models that have arisen during this web 2.0 era I strongly recommend reading "Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide" by Amy Shuen. I read it recently and it detailed the new business models, compared them to older business models, explained the process of running them independently as well as integrating them with older more traditional business models all with excellent detailed examples (Amazon, JaJa, Netflix, Apple etc.)
I hope this answer was helpful to you- like I said the book is worth reading and you can find it on O'Reilly or Amazon.
Tim O'Reilly's excellent article that set the standard for thoughts on web 2.0 early on is also a great resource for learning about the transition to these new business models: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20....

So my answer is: sites that give people ways to earn money. I call these "entrepreneurial tools," and have researched this a lot, since I've been building a site to offer these kinds of tools.
The most well known online entrepreneurial tool set is paypal+eBay+Skype.
Some other examples are Zazzle, emachineshop, even Second Life. (This category is interesting because these sites not only allow people to sell products, but give them the tools to design/make the products.)
However, with all these examples, there still needs to be a buyer. So any online service that allows people to get what they want or need at the best price will still be in a good position to thrive. That could include eBay, and Amazon (although Amazon again is likely to be hurt by reduced overall volume.)
Another way to examine the issue is that even if businesses shrink, if they are robust enough to survive, in a sense they will thrive, since competitors will either fail, or get absorbed. So that certainly includes giants like Google and Amazon.
(VCs have also said that by focusing on their businesses that can survive, they think they will come out of the economic downtime with whales.)

By helping your potential clients plug into open source solutions like Jooma, SugarCRM and ClearHealth, you provide substantial savings to them in terms of license fees. And if they’re set up properly, these things can take care of themselves.

M$Job boards - as people search for work.
College and online training/education - recessions typically see a return to college. Online training in the corporate world as those who need/require CEU's cut back on travel budgets/spending.
Gambling sites - always popular when people are out of work.
Classified advertisements - esp local ones since newspapers are all but dead.

These are really just set up to get your information as a lead and pass it along to a qualified sales rep, but I think they're great. Don't know if thats exactly the business model you're talking about.
If you mean all online, I'd say Mahalo.com It's a smart idea because it gives people (essentially free) entertainment, and takes up a lot of their time. Perfect for the clinically depressed.
