Jumi
It's easy to use, except when I was putting one of the Jumi articles into the module, didn't know how to do it, but after seeking support I got the answer

Good for display any .swf files, it was good for my portfolio because I have used Flash in before and now I no not to use it ever again. TO HARD TO UPDATE!!!

JoomlaWorks Ultimate Content Display (UCD)
This is great if you want to have articles like a newsflash to appear, it is also good for testimonials on site, instead having a page of testimonials or displaying one random testimonial each refresh, this module can rotate the testimonials around
Very useful

ImageSlideShow
Its very easy to use and looks great, would suggest for a rotating banner or just for rotating pictures
One thing bad is that it can only link to one website, so if it was being used for rotating advertising then you can only really advertise one company/product
Other than that it is great

jWeather
Very good module to display the weather
It looks great and has a few different options
The only bad thing about it was finding the code, but after seeking support I found it

YOOsearch
This search module is much better than others, as it simply looks more professional, and once you start typing a word it will popup with a box below the search with results on what you have so far typed

YOOgallery
The lightbox and slideshow features that you can choose from both look great, I love the spotlight feature that it has and I like the different thumbnail looks it has
One thing I found was when it was selected on Rounded for the thumbnails you could see the white and my site had a greeny coloured background, a bit of a let down but I guess it would be hard to have transparent corners

Xmap
I believe this component should be one of the core components in joomla, this is a very useful tool and is easy to use
byNetReach_Luke, January 6, 2009
This is a great component, although you don't want your users leaving your site, you know that they will eventually get sick of your updates and want to leave, this is good because it allows that user to leave without having to go through to the user manager.
I recommend it to be put into joomla

Recommend Invite Friends
Good for a site like myspace where you invite friends to join, but can also be used to promote your site to other users or possible customers

JoomGallery
This gallery is useful to split up your images into different groups, the lightbox feature and slideshow also very nice
The one down on the component which also is good in some cases, is the amount configuration

ChronoForms
This is the best component around
You can create forms that will send to a nominated email address, extremely useful and a must have if you want a contact us page
byNetReach_Luke, January 6, 2009
This is useful to copy a site over from 1 address to another and I would recommend it to everyone, a must have for backing up

Community Builder
Extremely Useful for having a profile
Couldn't quite get the blog section working so I also used in my site http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/content-&-news/blog/4960/details, but this is most likely because I haven't done something right and I also didn't go to their support, so sorry if there is help

VirtueMart
This was a great online e-commerce much better than others and useful for all types of businesses

JCE
Extremely useful for linking articles and putting in images.
Would recommend to anyone to use it rather than Joomla's default or any other.
