Twitter Goodies will show your twitter tweets under Sidebar Area (Widget), Post and/or Pages.
WP Archive-Sitemap Generator generates a simple `Archives/Sitemap` based on your blogs posts and pages.

YOURLS: WordPress to Twitter is the bridge between YOURLS, Twitter and your blog: when you publish a post or a page, it will use your own YOURLS install, either hosted on the same webserver, or another server, to create a short URL for your post and send it to your Twitter account. The plugin also works with public popular services such as TinyURL, tr.im, is.gd or bit.ly.
Why must you encourage something that everyone hates? LOL
I’m sure that some people will find it useful. In fact, I’ll be using it on one of my blogs. Fortunately, autoplay can be easily disabled.
First, thanks weblog Tools for featuring my plugin, Simple Music!
Jenny: Haha. Yes as James said, you can easily disable autoplay so that it only plays when the visitor wants to hear it. Works great for welcome messages and things like that.
You’re welcome, Andrew!
Query Multiple Taxonomies looks interesting. I’m having to look at custom taxonomies more and more with each project, so anything that helps with that is a bonus.
I notice it’s built using a proposed API, which I imagine would be subject to change?
I used a plugin similar to YOURLS: WordPress to Twitter but twitter suspended my account for spamming.
