Twitter-Roll
Installed very quickly in J!1.5.22. Very minimal settings to fuss with, just enable the plugin and use the tags. You can have as many twitter rolls as you want on a page without slowing it down or cluttering it up!

PROS:
* simple to install and setup
* provides twitter information without embedding it
* keeps page loads fast
* can have multiple instances on a page
* works in articles and modules!
* uses a twitter search so no API connecting is necessary
* very clean interface!

CONS:
* none so far

WISHES:
* more skins would be great
* a similar module for facebook =)

Great job on a great FREE plugin! Highly recommend it.

Thank you for your Pros & Cons list. Nice to know the Pros win! Please take the time to download the latest version... you can now create your own skins with the new color-picker option settings. I have not done this for Facebook yet but did convert this plug-in over to a module. Check it out and let me know what you think!

AJAX Header Rotator
Installed perfectly. Has just enough settings to make it work in most settings. Includes settings for height, width, delay, image path, etc.

Simply upload or FTP images into the folder you specify and it works!

A very nice job for a free module.... thanks!

Works immediately, easy to configure, does NOT slow down a large blog page. Outstanding.

Sexy Bookmarks
Love the looks of this plug in... however it adds 5-10 seconds to the load time of a site that has a front page blog with this plugin showing on the front page. Not sure why... hope they fix it!
Owner's reply

short remark on this: This effect is based on the Twitter part of the plugin. The Sexy Bookmarks plugins tries to fetch a short url for your webpage from a short-url-service. That means, if you have 8 different articles on your frontpage, the plugin tries to get 8 different external contents (the short url) for each article on your frontpage. This will slow down the page speed.

Turn the Twitter part off to improve the page speed. I am working on a higher performance on this side.

I had a site that looked great in Opera (mac/win), Safari (mac/win), FireFox (mac/win), and IE7, but those darned PNG transparencies in IE6 were killing it there! Personally, I think anyone who uses IE6 needs to be... well, anyway, this fixed it immediately. Small, lightweight, install and activate the plugin.

Well done!
