I would like to add two excellent plugins not present in this article:
Joe Dolson´s WP to Twitter: http://www.joedolson.com/articles/wp-to-twitter/
Alex King´s Twitter tools: http://alexking.org/blog/2009/08/03/twitter-tools-2-0
@ JoSe – Thanks for your addition.
I hate twitter tool which created by alex king.
It maintains too much plugin inside =.=
Cool list but would be even better to get your recommendation as to which ones are the most useful and supported too.
Lots of information and lists like this are great but it still leaves the question “Which one should I use?” Sure that depends on what I need it to do but surely you have used some of these?
I think we can help you get your list up to 33. We release the TwitterFools Trending Topics WP Plugin a few month ago. It places a widget in your sidebar that displays the trending topics on twitter as well as the reasons why a topic trends. Grab it here: http://www.twitterfools.com/news/plugin-update-twitterfools-trending-topics-v1-0-2/
really useful WP plugins for better usage of twitter.
I like the Twitter Tools plugin for announcing new blog posts
Thanks so much for this tool list. I just installed two of them #30 and #31 — so cool. Still learning and this was so helpful for me. Will def read up on some of the others.

I really like your blog. Thrust into the top issues in this subject. It seems to me that you have many wise words to say and not afraid to speak aloud their sentences. Keep up the invite to your blog pozycjonowanie stron
,~” I am really thankful to this topic because it really gives useful information -‘:
Hey Raj, thank you for putting this EXTREME list man! I like it; you know most twitter plugins do posting on twitter or shows a widget on wordpress sidebar. Thanks to feedburner, we can post new articles on twitter without a plugin and then the twitter widget can be used in the sidebar, so no plugin needed so far. I like the new plugin “tweet and like” that puts twitter and facebook button next to your posts.
