CacheControl
I use the popular K2 article component, the only issue the more articles i make the bigger the cache gets, (quite annoying), i only have 10 articles with over 150 caches. So i was able to stop it by adding some simple *wildcards* with this plugin.

Awesome >D

Simple Upload
I love it gives me a simple way for my users to submit files to me easily.

On a side not does anyone know how to change the upload button to an image, would be awesome.

googleSearch component
It's good but you cannot use the css it doesn't work properly and the forums are a grave filled with questions unanswered. I would like to add a sprite (image) background to the search bar but ti doesn't work where people are looking for more simpler things done. If you're looking for help after you install this you won't get it.

But with that said it does work and it is good.

Header Tags
I was a bit hmmm about this but i have to say it worked great, normally i've got tones of stuff so plugins conflict with stuff but everything went fine. After installing it i checked it with SEO in firefox and it's telling me my h1 tags are on so awesome still annoyed though i don't know really what it did, so it's left me happy yet confused :/

Mod_RAR_Radio
Been using this for about 4 months now for my forum section, it simply just creates a nice button once clicked a pop up window will display with any shoutcast/radio channel you like. Great feature for my forum :)

BoWoB Chat
All in all i was left a bit disappointed with this, exactly what i'm looking for however the cons outweigh the benefits. 1st problem you get a component, 2 modules and a plugin i can access everything but the component, it doesn't display once installed so i have no idea what kind of options i could have had, can access the modules and plugin but cannot see or access the component unless looking at it through ftp which isn't helpful.

My other griefs with this is i don't want this on my whole site just a chat section of my site, but you have no option of this. Once you install it, it's everywhere on every page which just looks ugly seeing it on every page would look nicer if you could select sections to have it display. And thirdly once it's installed and running smoothly if someone is accessing you're site they will get an annoying redirect to the same page (refresh) which i never noticed on the demo but sure as hell noticed once i installed it. So i guess i'm being generous with a 2 star vote :(

Recently released version 3.0 solves some of your "cons":
- Now the extension is only one plugin, so it is much easier to install.
- No "page refresh".

sh404sef Plugin for SermonSpeaker 3.x
Excellent sh404sef Ext thanks again Shadmego for helping me out by making this ;) recommended you to PU Arcade hope you don't mind, they're in a bit of a mess with sh404sef and can't seem to get it right. Maybe they'll give a generous donation but i'm broke and jobless so...

Just sheer great speeded up my site in no time, thanks for the hard work and if you have anything else cool like this don't be shy to share with us ;)

Also nice to see it works with joomla javascript compressors also for extra speed.

jFinalizer
This thing is bloody amazing you have so much control over compression methods your really lost over choice. I used the basic compression (Safe mode C+) but then tried the "ultra tight & fast" option which broke some stuff like it warned you when selecting it, sure enough it broke some stuff but the page loading time was lightning fast. So i decided i could accept some modules, components not functioning correctly with page speeds as fast as i'm getting.

Community builder members list gives errors & it makes my text look super small 8pt with max compression on. if you could look into that with future development.

Thanks for the report! Since version 1.1.0 has major rewrites which might possible affect your problems, please let us know if this can help (use DeTab compression mode).

I don't like to write bad reviews but i feel i have to warn people of this extension cause if i had of seen the warning i wouldn't have installed this. Installed this on my server last night, then woke up in the morning and couldn't access pages and links everything was broken. Then i looked in my /public_html on my server (root) where i like to have everything tidy, and noticed it created folders and files all over the place (not just a few) but everywhere. I was under the impression this would just play around with my Articles but it messed around with everything, sh404sef, HWD, JoomGallery. Any component it could it's hands on. This Plugin should come with a warning, cause it took me a while to figure out this was the problem.

I would rather not rate this, wish there was an undecided vote thing, but since i'm nice i'll give it a 3 star.

Be warned when you install this it will create folders and files all over the place in your root directory, which is a bad thing.

R3D Floater
I wanted to add a shoutbox to my site but couldn't cause i had no more space and the components i have make my site look ugly if i enable Right&Left colums so i thought i was done for. So i was skeptical about this, but within 10 minutes i had my shoutbox hovering anywhere in my site i chose to place it. 5 stars i love this, would be cool if you had more options to add in multiple modules in the near future.

I love this it's great however Javascript won't work for me i have to turn it off but it did all my .css files into one which is great. Just glad they give youthe option to disable JS cause it doesn't work for me and screws up my site. Guys could you get this JS bug fixed for me i have 4 JS scripts that give errors when trying to combine.

JoomlaStats
Yeah it's okay but i would have preferred something a bit more of something that would actually give me statistics rather than highlights of my website. Example : It gives you keywords people have used to find you're website but only tells you one of the words they used to find your website and if you click "expand all" it limits what you want to know (as i said before highlights)It's more of a fad than a useful statistics tool that tells you about 20% whats actually happening, but since i have no other option of a statistics tool i'll have to use this one which is why i gave it a fair rating. However once one of the better statistics tools becomes available for 1.5 i'm dumping this one straight away.

Summary
I would prefer something more useful than highlights. The stuff i don't care about is bloated and the stuff i do care about (charts, diagrams, Referers, keywords) is minimal or non existent. Which is a shame because it's really only one of the true joomla statistics which integrates well with 1.5 but cares more about telling you about live data than useful data.

hwdVideoShare
I don't like to put to much importance and emphasis on Support because it must be hard to code any component, but when something catastophic happens to you're site and you need help i can assure you at HWD your guaranteed to get it. Firstly if you're looking for a dynamic video gallery to trial then check out this place, they have an excellent free version you can use with not much limits on the free version but for a small amout of cash you can have the full version and excellent support.

PROS

It can do more than some more bloated highly priced components found in the extension list here.

Excellent support

The new verison comes with extra goodys free of charge like image gallerys etc;

Cons

It's still in early development, but could be taken another way showing you what they can do in short term.
