When I first created a listings directory for my Joomla site I chose to use a commercial component it soon became apparent that the commercial directory component I was using just wasn't up to the job.

I had another look around and discovered that SOBI 2 had many, many more features and gave me endless possibilities to expand my directory via a formidable array plugins, modules and addons. In fact you can do just about anything with SOBI 2 it's far more than just a directory component.

Support from the developer via the SOBI community forum is excellent and the SOBI component is continuously developed meaning that it just keeps on getting better!
