This is a great component. Very easy to install and use. It is totally self-contained, and really integrates nicely. It has a very clean layout and it is easy to customize the look and feel.

Support is amazing. They have had several major updates and always respond to support questions on their website's forum. On one occasion, they provided a download for bug fix within an hour of me submitting the issue. That is extremely rare with a FREE component. If this is any indication of their level of service, I would definitely hire this company to do custom work.

I am really looking forward to some of the new features they are planning. Thanks for a great component and great support.

I had hoped for an easy-to-use blogging thing, in as for the adminstrator to post short messages, sort of like twitter. Preferably to be placed a a component in the sidebar.

This is unfortunately not the case with this HTmicroblog extension. ;-(

Instead it screwed up the look of the website, installed some weird code in the sidebar, and fundamentally requires a seperate menu item. (which is however easy to install)

Hello!
I have been waiting for some extension like this for very long time. This is perfect. Works according to my expectation and needs.

Thanks developers.
Hoping more advanced versions soon!

I am not a professional webmaster, in the sense that I am not proficient enough yet to create my own extensions, nor deal with sites being "HACKED" by certain punks etc. However what I can do is say that "I specialize in marketing" on a massive scope and "image" is the most important factor online, with "sounds" being shunned by major search engines atm, clearly "image and form" are the way to make millions online...

Daring to say it, this extension reminds me of facebook like, smooth, styling, perfect for officialwebmasterforums I am currently developing, please however implement the rss, the comments-on-comments, etc etc, think out of the box as I always do - can you help create an entirey ajax start page instead? a plugin for the frontpage, whereby people who enter the site are listed automatically in ajax, there is a chat room like shoutbow, there is list recently updated articles (in real time) etc... people are predominantely against ajax landing pages, however they're mistaken, because you'll still collect majority of clicks from your other standard content/article pages etc... if you make this type of an interactive site, I think you'll push the internet to it's eventual level (video gaming lobby style websites, with video, mic implementation etc... only a matter of time :)"

My point is, your styling on the demo site, is 100% spot on, cannot pay enough for this - guys, all donate to him, let him make a business of developing this oarsome extension - dave" :)

I previously have installed this extension in my website but I thought of implementing this in Ajax. But now htmicroblog has reduced my work :)

Thanks a lot.

An rss feed for each user would be very good..
Also, a jomsocial integration would be appreciated too..

This works out of the box, just as described .I use this on 3 sites, easy to install and deploy. Setting the word limit is an excellent feature.

Yes agreed with the earlier reviewer, this is not a twitter but I guess you can "position" it as your sites Personal Twitter !!

The developer has asked for "Suggestions", goes :

Could you please integrate a "quick reply " system too ? We must be able to set the number of words in the reply too .

I notice that you are working on a rating system that will be fantastic.

Integrating the above two into this tool will make this unbeatable.

I am not a developer but I am sure it must be difficult to integrate a quick reply . But it must be done.

All in All Excellent

I like this component but it is not described properly. It is not a microblogging component like Twitter, it is instead a community microblogging component which is much better for my site personally. All posts do display on one page. As the poster mentioned it would be nice to have CB plugin for it, but also I really think what is missing is a module. This type of content changes constantly and it would be good to have that displayed all over the site. On my site I noticed a bug today that apostraphe's can not be used in messages. I have not started troubleshooting it yet.

As it's a component, need to have a menu link to it. Everyone's blogs appear; can choose your own or friends (and avatar appears from CB.

What is clearly missing is a CB tab for displaying each users blogs. Guess I'll have to write that myself.

Also, had to find out by experiment that the 'x' icon means delete blog entry and not close - no tooltips.

Was not expecting blogs to appear like a shoutbox and be accessible only from a menu and not in the CB profiles. But that in itself is perhaps ok, maybe even a nice touch. But really need proper CB integration; then this will be really good; especially as there is currently no alternative CB blogging plugin.

This blogging component is very simple. Just install, make a new item in the menu and your done. This blog is cool, but it has many features missing:

-A rating system for each item, like a thumbs up/down rating.
-comments system for each blog
-Have in the menu "most popular', 'highest rated'

Great microblogging extension!

This is a great microblog. Easy to install, easy to manage.
