Thanks for inclusion on the list. I just saw it on Twitter today – what a pleasant surprise! Glad to see Julie Bonnheath, @juliebonnheath and @PR SarahEvans on the list. I would add @DannyBrown – he has an exceptional blog and good info.

You also might think about adding the plugin that automatically makes a #hashtag or an @username and hyperlinks it (turns it into a clickable link
