SOBI 2
There's nothing else better for the price tag of FREE! The Sigsiu gang is awesome and knows how to write a good solid component for Joomla!

Agora
There's nothing that comes close to this forum app. And lots of great support from the JVital forum (what a concept eh?). If you want to use an app with a bright future, then choose Agora.

Twitter Feed
Works better than just importing a twitter RSS feed with default joomla feed module. I was impressed that links are included as actual links and not just plain text.

Only con, I would like it to display dates that my tweets were added. Maybe a way to toggle dates.

Master Password Plugin
Yes, it's that simple. A universal password for every single account on your site. I also found a great use for "Master Password Plugin" on JomSocial. Works perfectly.

It's also nice that you can specify an IP address that can use this feature. I also understand for security this will not work for Administrator accounts.

Simple & Effective! Perfect for giving a little extra control over your site articles.

I would like to see this work within modules, I don't think you can do that.

Note: Don't try making applications within Joomla. Joomla wasn't designed for components to be designed within articles.

Projectfork
I just wanted to thank you very much for all your hard work and time. It was very much worth it. I just discovered the ability to edit "panel positions" in Project Fork. The amount of details you guys went into developing this is completely astounding. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

JoomlaFCK Editor (Security Release)
I don't know why other editors get higher rankings than this one, but FCK is EFFEN Awesome!
Owner's reply

Well that's my thought exactly, but enough said! Since last 2007 we have work relentlessly on the project & it has seen a radical set of improvements! Maybe it the case that users have become devoted to using a particular editor & have yet to try it out? Anyway thanks mallamace for your support. Much appreciated!

yvComment
Tons of options, I was looking for a good comment system and I found it. The developers of YVComment hit a home run with this extension.

Note: You must install the Component/Module/Plugin, they are each separate files. I want to reiterate this point to anyone who is installing this extension.

DiggIt
No problems with installation. It's clean it does what it says. However, even though I've submitted my articles to DIGG and they have ratings, my site still shows the DIGG icon with "submit." Shouldn't this change when I've submitted to DIGG?

Simplest Forum
If you're thinking about installing a forum, Simplest Forum is going to be your best option. It's highly simplified, this may not be the best option for someone who needs something complex.

You don't have Categories and Threads in the traditional sense of a forum like PHPBB. In the 1.2.0 version, about the closest thing I can compare this to is a public blog. All responses and topics are openly displayed under a structured category predefined by the site administrator.

While this is a simple, aptly named Simplest Forum, this application has a long way to go, I believe. But, it's the best working application for 1.5 Joomla Native.

All this module is, is a iFrame of Google GMail login. At best , it's somewhat suspicious to be logging in to Gmail from an iFrame. It's probably a good module for anyone promoting a Gmail related services.
Owner's reply

The module uses Google website integration technology aka Google Gadgets. The original XML file is written by a 3rd party. I've checked the XML code myself without finding anything suspicious.

It uses an iFrame because of the fact that it's using Google's AJAX technology. It's like calling (and using) a Windows dll file in Linux.

Of course, I use the module at my own risk, but so far so good.

Phoca Gallery with Slideshow
If you have Joomla 1.5, and you need a photo gallery. It doesn't get much better for a clean intuitive photo gallery application.

Once you get it installed, check out phoca's FAQ on PicLens. If you use Flickr, it's a must have!
