AJAX Shoutbox
I am trying to uninstall the module however it does not show up under Extension Manager, Modules. It shows that the coding is third rate at least. A good idea, terrible implementation.

Affiliate feeds
A lot of good effort has gone into developing this component, however it is not ready. The author makes good effort in English but his use of it is still confusing (he writes "two" as "to" sometimes for instance), the component's language is half English half Dutch, etc.
Also the database is not well organized, I could not find how to delete the 1,000 or so sample items that come with the installation, and quite a few other small issues.

The developer has great understanding of data feeds, however the user can find oneself in a pickle.

For all developers out there, make a Great free component, develop a reputation and you will get more paid work than you will want. Do not try to make money off free components, or get links etc. A good component will make people come look for you. A so-so one will make people avoid you.

I am always impressed when I have to work with Sobi2, such a great extension that is almost perfect. Thank you so much guys.

Jquery Translator
This is a great extension. It actually removes the Google frame and in this way it allows the translation to appear seamlessly to the viewer. It seems very robust.

I do have one issue however: in order for the entire website to be translates you need to have this module published in every page. It translated only one page a time. If the reader navigates away from the page, the website reverts to the default language. This is a little cumbersome. There are extensions that can translate the entire website, and this would be a nice feature to have in the future.
Thank you very much indeed.

JCrawler
This is a great component, one of my favourites. I think that any serious webmaster should have it. It is especially good when you set up a new website and you wan to spread the word via the search engines, it does the job!
Thank you to the developer.

Rapid Contact
I use this extension and it works very well. It has an antispam measure, which is very nice and easy to set up. It's "light weight" and it fills a good role as a rapid contact form.
Thank you to the developer.

Simple Image Rotator
I use this module on one of my websites and it does what I was looking for very well. I would like to thank the creator! What makes it better then similar extensions is that when it resizes images it retains the natural beauty of images without distorting them. Other modules resize all images to the same dimensions, causing images to look distorted. Simple Image Rotator retains the natural proportions.

iNow Twitter
It a great little module. I was looking for a module that displays my Twitter followers numbers, and surprisingly very few Twitter modules do that. iNow provided what I was looking for. The only reason it does not get 5/5 is because the styling is too plain.

It simply does not work well. There are installation and other problems, both for Joomla 1.5 and 1.0. Quick support but as incompetent as the component.
Owner's reply

If you post (again) in the forum I'll be happy to provide support

Wow this is a hidden gem! Works perfectly right off the bat. I highly recommend it. I would encourage the author(s) to update this great extension. Google analytics has a new script for verification and should be easy to include that as well.

Thanks guys!

First of all to download this thing you have to register with your email to a meaningless website and confirm your email and agree to an obscure terms and conditions contract.

The component's idea is good, and I am surprised that there aren't more components like this. But the module that goes with this is HORRIBLE!

It usurpes 1/4 of your webpage with a link to this guy's website. It shows a stupid list of countries where each and every one of your visitors came from, as if any one cares. It has a HUGE space for showing some useless traffic stats to your Visitors, as if you want every one of your visiotrs to see all that data, what is the point?

As I said good idea, terrible implementation. As soon as someone else makes a similar component this will dies out in minutes!
