Advanced Social Bookmarker
Believe or not but this plugin does NOT support to show badges on every page. You have to enter category ids manually :) in my case it is over 200 you have to write them one by one. And if you want to show you only digg facebook well you can't do that. There is no option just to display the top badges either. Works good author really need to think deeper.
Owner's reply

Hey, Thanks for the review. Sorry you couldn't figure out how to show only Digg, but the options are explained in the admin side. For each service, select "Yes" to show & "No" to not show. So if you only want to show Digg, Set FB, Twitter, & Yahoo to "No." (& set Digg to "Yes").

Also, we have a forum where you can ask these questions. Most everything you mentioned is explained on this joomla.org page & shown in the images.

ShareMe
Very good plugin. But as almost every other reviewer wrote, this plugin uses fbshare.me as facebook sharer. fbshare's servers are very very slow. So do not use facebook share option till author will begin to use facebook's own sharer API. Otherwise it will kill your site's speed.
Owner's reply

Thanks for the review. I will be dropping FBShare's script in the next release.

Scrolling Share Button
I am giving 5 stars because developer is working hard on this one. Very good plugin. Highly customizable, but the problem is with Internet explorer v6 v7 v8. I tried on 3 of my sites 1 gave error like the author's demo site. "Done with errors" but the 2 others gave me the same error but the pages didnt load just this plugin show and almost empty screen. So after installing this plugin do not forget to test your page with IE.

Random News with Intro
I was looking for a free random news displayer module for a long time. The ones at JED was either not showing intro, or category section name etc. This module is perfect, you can totally customize it, anyway you want. Thank you, great job
There are really not very good related or random article plugins so everytime a new one submitted i try it. This one working fine, but only if you have 50-60 articles on your site. If you have over 10.000 articles like me, then this plugin will kill your site speed it takes about more then 30 seconds to load a page because everytime it searches entire site's titles. At first i even emailed my hosting compnay about site's speed, after that i noticed it is because this plugin, i disabled it and everything back to normal

Tag Meta
I was using author's other extension REDJ. An amazing component, now i tried this one and this is also excellent.
Thank you

if you have a high volume site and are gonna use this component get ready to have zillion of bot-sent messages. no support for captcha too bad. other than that great

Bulk Import
I cant believe noone commented on this excellent component. As author stated it is based on mass content. Think this extension as meta content with endless fields and all in same page. Amazing thank you

i am running a wallpaper site and this little plugin is amazing even though not working with sh404sef, so i cant use it on my site. But basically idea is great and if you are using only Joomla SEFs it is superb
Owner's reply

I will check sh404sef, and try to make it workable.

simple, lightweight and works fine. No complaints here just a request. I wish there is an option to add category and/or section names to the page title. I hope author will add this feature.

Communicator
If you want to create newsletters with minimal effort with an easy subscribe form, this is an excellent component. It takes 15 seconds to make it work. Very simple yet powerful. I hope in future releases developers will add a captcha or email confirmation for guest subscribers. Thank you
Owner's reply

Hi.
There is email confimation allready :o)
And a "delet all nonconfirmed email" button as well

VOTItaly
Great little plugin, but it lacks to show zero votes as stars. So on category, section or front pages some articles shows voting stars but no stars if there are no votes. I wish you can customize it like on plugin "extravote"

idea is awesome. Great tagging component with BOTH plugin and module. So i can setup different tags for different articles. I am using joomla 1.51 with smartsef. A huge problem is when you create a tag lets call it "box" in an article, when you click on it, it redirects to domain.com/box.html, it doesnt forward to joomla search so unless you dont have box.html page you are getting 404. If the developer will handle that problem, this component will be great.

i need to insert different snippets to each article. I swear that plugin save my hours if not days of work. Thank you so so much for that great plugin.
Owner's reply

Thank you very much - it's so simple indeed! I hope I can make it even more useful. My plans for developement are:
- getting it perfectly reliable and bug-free
- adding some kind of default snippets to include CSS, JS and maybe JDate() output straight from the article, something like {{:css /template/style.css}} so you don't need to make central snippets if you need to add a resource to one article only

This is a dream come true extension very easy to use
and since Joomla! dont have any "assign single article to multiple categories" this is the closest one you can get.
I have a suggestion.
You cant display article titles while using articleid=xxxx
I think this is very very important.
Now here comes the huge bug. My Joomla! version is 1.51.
Lets say you click on an article with id 30 and there is a {mosmodule} command there
If you use random command or even articleid command
if the random article becomes the same one which u are looking (in cour case it is id30) the page becomes a huge blank page.
This is not a big issue while using article id since you will probably not put the same article twice in same page. But when it comes a random it is very very important.
Owner's reply

Title is not there for articleid to avoid confusion to have duplicated title on the same content. Please provide an example for a use case and why is it important.

Now for showing on the same paging with the same id with the random, is that more of a feature request then bug? How would you expect this to be handle if you have the same article on the same page? The random is intent for use of the content from a different section not for the same section of displaying article.

DiggIt
Easy, very useful
But the only problem is there is no configuration NOT to show on frontpage or intro text on articles. You either show both intro and full text or no where. If author will make this to configure it will be great
Owner's reply

Option to show or not widget in “Introtext” or in “Frontpage” were added in version v1.2.0.
