WordPress Plugins

Brief list of plug-ins that we should be considering for our blogs:
Plugins:

• Akismet (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/akismet/)
• All in One SEO Pack (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/)
• Google XML Sitemaps (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-google-sitemap-xml/)
• Head Cleaner (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/head-cleaner/)
• cbnet Favicon (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cbnet-favicon/)
• W3 Total Cache (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/)
• To maximize performance, the W3 Total Cache plug-in can interface directly with MaxCDN (http://www.maxcdn.com/)
• WP Smush.it (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-smushit/)
• WP Most Simple Social Bookmarks (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-most-simple-social-bookmarks/)

Plugins (that maybe useful):

• PHP Execution (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-execution-plugin/)
• WP Twitter Sidebar Widget (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-twitter-sidebar-widget/)
• WordPress Backup (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-backup/)
• WordPress Simple Survey (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-simple-survey/)

From Sam at work. I think he has most of those I use too. I thought this would be helpful since there were some performance focused plugins that were new to me.
