ZOO
If I could give Zoo an "Excellent ++" I would. It is, without a doubt, our web agency's secret weapon.

It's powerful, easy on the eyes, and comes pre-configured with some killer apps and add-on modules. The free version includes a slick blog and a page creator.

We use the commercial version, and it's paid for itself over and over. The two apps we use most often are the Item/Inventory Catalog and the Business Directory. But, honestly, we've put every app to use except, perhaps, for the Movie Database.

Our clients love how easy it is for them to manage their own content. And they get a sweet Submission app from the front end.

YooTheme has a pillar of Joomla society and they're actively developing the app.

YooTheme upgrades Zoo on what feels like a weekly basis - sometimes with major surprises. Recently, it added a much needed feature to send emails on Submissions and Comments. A Joomla 1.6 version is available and the upcoming Warp 6.0 and JQuery based tools are on their way (as of the time of this review).

How this does not have a 5 Star rating and a hundreds of glowing reviews is beyond me - my business depends on it.

Zoo Links for Advanced Link
Just started working with it, so if there are any bugs or issues, I haven't yet encountered them.

What I can say is that this is a godsend for me. The ability to easily link to any Zoo category or item is crucial.

Keywords Rank Checker
Simple, quick to install, fairly good looking without any tweaks.

Most of all, a simple and very handy tool for my clients to check the ranking of their own keywords and phrases.

Good job!

Thanks for that feedback. I will try to improve on this more, and also come out with more of SEO extensions.

Site Scan
Worked like a charm.

Only suggestion is a clarification on the initial startup screen as to whether or not file permission changes also changes directory permissions. To be on the safe side, I first checked and fixed directory permissions then ran a second pass for the files.

Easy Twitter Status
The issue that I have with Twitter modules is how often Twitter goes down or slows down, leaving my clients with an empty Twitter module.

This is the only one I've found (and I've tried 1/2 dozen) that has both a timeout feature (for when Twitter is slow) and a configurable fall-back "nothing to display" message. Perfect!

My only quibble is that I always end up changing the css/formatting. It would be nice to have a choice of themes.

Good job. Highly recommended.

Googlemaps Plugin
I had written to the author asking him to include the ability to add driving directions in the next version. Within a few minutes he had written me back to inform me that the feature was already there.

Talk about responsive! He retroactively granted my wish list.

In case you missed it too, the instructions for adding driving directions are found on this post: http://tech.reumer.net/google-maps/demo-google-maps/marker-with-directions.html

Great job!
