I have recently had more time to look into the wonderful world of tweeting on Twitter, I must say that it is becoming very addictive indeed! I thought that I would share with you some of the WordPress plugins that I have used and other interesting bits and bobs that I have found around the net.

Twitter Tools
Twitter Tools is a plugin that creates a complete integration between your WordPress blog and your Twitter account.
* Archive your Twitter tweets (downloaded every 10 minutes)
* Create a blog post from each of your tweets
* Create a daily or weekly digest post of your tweets
* Create a tweet on Twitter whenever you post in your blog, with a link to the blog post
* Post a tweet from your sidebar
* Post a tweet from the WP Admin screens
* Pass your tweets along to another service (via API hook)

Twitter Digest
Twitter Digest is a WordPress plugin that creates a daily or weekly post containing tweets from a twitter account.
* Automatically polls specified Twitter account and creates a post shortly after midnight which contains the previous days tweets
* Display tweets in chronological or regular (Twitter) order
* Tag tweet digest posts automatically
* Customize the title of tweet digest posts
* Select the author and category for tweet posts

Twittar
Twitter Avatar In Comments loads user’s avatar by matching the email address to the user’s Twitter email address.
* If user doesn’t have a Twitter account, it first tries to load user’s gravatar. If user doesn’t have a gravatar, it loads a default image. This is an optional setting.
* You can set a 2-pixel border to the images (you choose the color).
* You can choose the size: we suggest 24, 48 or 72 pixels.
* You can set an image other than the default one to load if a user doesn’t have a Twitter account or a gravatar.
* It builds a valid image for you (with alt and title attributes, etc.) based on user details.
* Allows you to add a class to the image, so you can style it later.

List Widget: Put your favorite tweeps into a list! Then show ‘em off in a widget. Also great for moderation. I have used this for my live creative inspiration feed.
