Twitter Plugins
This is a list of all the Twitter Wordpress Plugins that are available…. did I miss any?
Twitter Tools
Automatically posts to Twitter when you publish a new blog post or gives you the option to post it to twitter manually. And can pull your "tweets" into your blog.

TwitterDoodle
TwitterDoodle automatically searches Twitter for keywords and publishes them to your blog at regular intervals (set by you). I use this on my twitter blog to see if anyone has found a cool new twitter tool and have it set to go into it’s own category and not on the frontpage.

Twitter Badge
Official javascript codes that display badges showing what you are posting on Twitter.

The Twitter Updater
Automatically sends a Twitter status update to your Twitter account when you create, publish, or edit your WordPress post. You can specify the text for the updates, and also have the option to turn the auto update on/off for the different post actions in the admin panel.

TweetMyBlog will automatically:
1) Post a tweet whenever you update you blog.

Twitter Statuses Badge
A modified version of the Official Twitter badges (not a wordpress plugin, you can use this on any of your normal sites too).
* The twitterer’s icon, links to their twitter page.
* One or more of the twitterer’s recent tweets.
* Tweet date-stamp that links to that tweet’s permalink.
* More CSS hooks for more advanced styling, including: ‘first’, ‘last’, ‘even’, and ‘odd’ classes on the list item tags.

TwitterCard
A TwitterCard is a compact twitter widget that acts as your Twitter business card on your website.
Your TwitterCard introduces you by showing your recent status, your picture and your bio.
Tweet This
A plugin that adds a Twitter icon to every post and page, so your readers can share your blog entries on their Twitter accounts with ease. Shortens URLs in advance. Tested in WordPress 2.6.2, 2.0.11, and 1.5.

Auto Tweet
Auto Tweet adds a check box to the Write Post editor (both the TinyMCE/Visual Editor and the advanced editor). When this box is checked, publishing your post will also send the post to Twitter. If a post is longer than 140 characters, it will be truncated. Auto Tweet creates a new column in the "posts" table of your database to mark which posts have already been submitted and will use that information to help prevent double-posting.

TwitMe
This plugin allows you to automatically post your new posts on the twitter website. This is good because for example the ipod and iphone for example have a large amount of twitter clients to pick from. Your blog posts will arrive to people while they are walking the streets.

TwitPress
Submits a user definable tweet to your twitter account notifying any twitter followers or friends that a new blog entry has been published on your blog (or an existing published entry has been edited). Supports inclusion of a permalink to your blog posting in the tweet.
LifeStream
Lifestream displays your social feeds and photos much like you would see it on many of the social networking sites.

Social Bookmarking RELOADED
Add the social bookmarks service’s icons to your articles in your blogs in order to submit them easily.
WP Twitter Pitch
WP-TwitterPitch is all about getting the pitch delivered to you in the form you want to get it delivered - in other words in Twitter format.
This plugin provides a template tag that you can drop anywhere in your theme. Clicking the link provides lightbox-like functionality for a "pitch form". Using the form does not require a Twitter account (but does require that you have a secondary Twitter account you can use for this purpose, since you can’t send Direct Messages to yourself via Twitter). Note: Your WP-TwitterPitch Twitter account must follow the account that is being pitched and vica versa. This is a one-off action (hopefully, depending on Twitter) and only needs to be done when setting up WP-TwitterPitch. Messages sent from the form are DMmed to the account getting the pitch and the form is limited to 140 characters or less.
Comment Twitter SMS Notification
Get notified by SMS when a user post a new comment on your blog.
Plurkolate
Gets your Plurks and puts them in a readable format on your blog. It uses the says/is/thinks… tags you know and love.

TwitGets
Adds a sidebar widget to display your Twitter Friends Timeline using Twitter’s flash scripts
Tweet You
Uses the power of jQuery to twitter to your website in a widget. Just set install, add the widget, set your username and you are on your way!
Hey Social
Hey Social is a way to interact with the visitors of your blog, so that they can submit your posts and pages to the most famous Social services, such as Digg, Twitter, De.licio.us and so on. This plugin makes heavy use of JavaScript effects to impress visitors with the latest technique of Web 2.0.

WP Greet Box
This plugin lets you show a different greeting message to your new visitors depending on their referrer url. For example, when a Digg user clicks through from Digg, they will see a message reminding them to digg your post if they like it. Another example, when a visitor clicks through from Twitter, they will see a message suggesting them to twit the post and follow you on Twitter. You can also set a default greeting message for new visitors (not matching any referrer URLs) suggesting them to subscribe to your RSS feed. Having these targeted suggestions will help your blog increase exposure and loyal readership. Best of all, this plugin is compatible with various WordPress cache plugins so you do not have to sacrifice speed.
Currently the following referrers are installed by default, but you can easily create your own if your favorite referrer is not on the list!
* del.icio.us
* digg.com
* google.com
* yahoo.com
* stumbleupon.com
* technorati.com
* twitter.com

Tweet Rooster

Twitter Friends
Cool Widget that allows you to give love to the people that follow you on Twitter. You can choose different display styles of either picture only or picture, username, and most recent tweet. Due to Twitter limit on API hits, I cache the friend list and only hit Twitter every 5 minutes to avoid getting "Over the limit errors"

TwitterCounter
Integrate TwitterCounter.com badges on your blog to display the number of followers you have on Twitter

SocialBoaster
Here’s a fun little script that’ll aggregate your Digg, Twitter and Del.icio.us activity and post it to your Wordpress blog. It uses the Wordpress cron system and can be configured to search for updates by the hour or on a daily basis. SocialBoaster works by grabbing the contents of your Twitter Tweets, and Digg/Del.icio.us bookmarks and creating posts for them on your blog. SocialBoaster is designed to be unobstrusive.

This is a great list Penny, Are some of them basically the same ones but a different plugin?
@Dan_N - yep, aint no such thing as individuality lol.. I guess the plugin creators decided there was a particular need and created them all at once :)
My fave is Twitter Tools for the tweeting your latest blog.. its not annoying, lets you choose which ones to tweet, etc.
