Extra Vote
Does all it says, easy to install and use. Plus if you have issues the support is efficient and quick. Recommended as a much more appealing voting system!

JoomShopping
I was using VirtueMart for my virtual shops, but this one although more limited in certain aspects, is the perfect solutions for most ecommerce sites.

Easy to install and configure and Joomla 1.7 native with multi language native support (no need for Joomfish or the sort). I highly recommend it if you don't need all those extras which come with VirtueMart. Give it a try and see if it has everything you need.

ITPConnect
I was using this extension and it was working fine, but out of nowhere it stopped working.

Me and others with the same problem asked for support on their forums and no response for more than 2 weeks. They simply don't reply to anyone nor provide any help.

Sorry about that and I sincerely apologize. I will try to improve support of the extensions.
Now it works. ;)

SoundCloud Latest Tracks
This works as it should (testing with Joomla 1.7). Only reason I don't give it a better rating is because you can't change the module class suffix.

It also has hidden backlinks, which sucks. We all understand that it's fair to get a link for the work you provide for free, but not when it's hidden and several ones, which is really bad in terms of SEO (Google hates hidden backlinks).

However the hidden backlinks are easily removed with a simple edit, so my final rating is "Good".

Joom!Fish
The extension itself is quite good, however there are several bugs to it and the support is completely non-existing. Just check their support forum and you'll see dozens and dozens of unanswered topics with requests for help.

Also, the fact that it isn't available for Joomla 1.6 and 1.7 is also a major setback.

Easy Open Graph
The plugin works as it says, but they inject you with hidden links, which sometimes even show on some of my showcase modules. I do not recommend, there are other options just as good without the hidden links.
Owner's reply

We're sorry about your complain, cause this plugin has made with hours of work and is completely free, the only credit we ask is the backink.

In the editor's note up in this page is specified that a hidden link is in the code, and the code is completely open source so you can easily delete the backlink (in easyopengraph.php file). So, please, maybe next time you'll judge other people work try to think the reasons of your complains.

For us is a way to promote our work and to help other people to develop their sites at the same moment.

Facebook Social Comments
The product itself is good, but there are a few problems with it and the support is awful, you have to use a forum and it takes them days to reply to you. And to make it worst you don't get any email notification when they finally reply to your topic on the forum, so you have to keep checking it...

BoWoB Chat
This chat system has a nice potential, but unfortunately it's still buggy and the support is very lacking as it takes for ever to get an answer, even thought I spent money with it.

I don't recommend it for those who need a stable working chat system (whether for Joomla or phpBB, we had problems with both), but has potential to be a great extension in the future.

Sounds like a good plugin, but it just doesn't work, I get an error message when I activate it.

Looks like a nice extension, too bad you have to register and everything is in a foreign language which I can't understand.

It does all that it says and more. I contacted the author because I didn't want this plugin to be used on the frontpage and in one day and sends me a new version with the option to disable it on the frontpage. Thank you! :D
