It's only working about 80% of the time for me too. If you go to the Extension Preferences, you have to insert your zip code and relaunch. Still, it's not working 100% of the time for me. Probably going to uninstall or turn off the extension myself.
Got a tip for us?

They spelled "Fahrenheit" incorrectly in the preferences. You'd think a weather source would know.
A Cleaner YouTube: Awesome! Only thing is I wish it supported Subscriptions. I can't use it until they update it so hopefully that is implemented soon.
Exposer: Really cool. I removed the menu item and just rely on the Option + T shortcut to access it. Very sweet.
Little Snapper: Works great with LittleSnapper for Mac.
Add to Google Reader: Ingeniously uses Safari's own RSS button to add a subscription to your Google Reader account.
Great Day 1 content so far. It is limited, yet I wonder how often Apple will approve new extensions?

A Cleaner YouTube does support subscriptions. Click the arrow next to your YouTube username and click Subscriptions.
I know that - I meant NEW Subscription videos from the main window. All it shows me is the Most Popular series.
Some great extensions there 
Reload Button - never got used to Reload being at the right hand end of the address bar
Amazon Search Bar - very useful
Better Facebook - finally, FB starts to make sense to me
Awesome Screenshot - this is gonna be useful
Exposer - I use Exposé all the time so this is a great extension
Safari Restore - something Firefox has always been able to do at start-up
One thing about Exposer; if you use it but select another tab by clicking on the tab itself, rather than the Exposer tile, Safari switches to it but leaves the Exposer tiles displayed in the original tab so if you click the Exposer button again it appears not to work.

I'm disgusted that Apple releases Safari 5+ for Windows XP but my Mac, with it's newer Tiger OS, is only given 4+. I wouldn't have thought anything of their exclusion of Safari 5 on Tiger macs if they hadn't supported old Windows versions. Awful.
One Extension i'd like to see ported to Safari is EXIF Viewer for Firefox. Right-click on a photo and it displays the EXIF data for it (if it hasn't been stripped).
Edit: just had another look and there is one - EXIF Ext

Nice. Some extensions I find useful:
Duplicate Tab Button
TabLinks (the copy function via command+c doesn't work though)
Ultimate Status Bar
Exposer (A little bit slow)
I have found several extensions that don't work right, or just don't work at all.
For example:
Coda Notes
MeasureIt

AdBlocker works great!
I tested Safari AdBlocker on a couple of web sites, and found all the (annoying blinking and flashing) ads blocked. Might even consider to switch back from FireFox to Safari as my main web browser (and donate a few bucks to the developer of AdBlock).
I loves me some updates!
I installed the Safari AdBlocker. Let's hope it works.

Fix Safari
How about they freaking fix Safari, before adding new things. I've been using 3 browsers to compare and Camino along with Opera work well with minor annoyances. On the other hand I don't know what the hell Safari is doing but I'll always get random disconnects within the browser even though I have a strong signal.

Done.AdBlocker => hate those annoying animated ads that take forever to load.

Open some tabs and then click the little box with four squares in it next to the left and right arrows near the top of your window.

AdBlock does work great. I think it's a must have and makes viewing pages so much better.
I really, really, really don't like Ads.
I would like to see a Safari extension to manage cookies and allow me to block cookies from certain domains, allow cookies from certain domains, or allow cookies until end of session.
