 from http://nodejs.wikia.com/wiki/NPM_Modules
----------------------------------
f you are a newcomer, it can be handy to at least get a starting point. However, note that there are many tens of thousands of modules in the npm registry, and only just under 2,000 modules here.
So, this list is long enough to be intimidating, but still only captures a tiny sliver of the Node.js modules you can use with your program. What's worse, it's almost never updated, and cannot hope to highlight the changes that are happening in this busy ecosystem.
Search for modules with npmjs.org, node-modules, node-toolbox and nipster.
