Top Drupal Modules
Drupal is a great open source CMS. Unfortunately, their primary database of available modules (plugins) is a bear to sift through. Limited tagging. No download numbers. No ratings. They need to use more of their own modules for their module database. Drupal is such a rich ecosystem, you could spend days just sifting through what’s available.
So here’s an alternative. I like what Amazon has done with Unspun. Just “Top X” lists, aggregated from several sources. And once you create a list, they pre-seed the ratings by paying their small army of Amazon Mechanical Turk voluntee.. um, I mean, workers .. to enter and rate. This is a great tool & strategy, by the way, for any startup to get over the hump of an initial critical mass of data.
So here’s the unspun take on the top Drupal modules, starting from a ranking of a few modules I happen to use. It will be interesting to watch it evolve.

I have added 35+ videos on how to setup Drupal with many of these modules. I haven’t tried all of the modules here, but this list has made me thinking to check out some of these modules. CCK is sure the top one!

I recently came across a nice Druplet Site (http://www.druplet.com) that provides the ranking of drupal modules based on the number of views/downloads. It also has the search capability which I found very useful when it came to look for additional modules.

Along with the mentioned druplet.com, I just found drupalmodules.com and searchdrupal.org both of which are useful for different solutions. Being a drupal developer, the later is great for finding stuff because it cuts the crap out of a general google search.
