Not so much what is my favourite Plugin, but I would love to see a Wordpress Plugin that allows visitors to my podcast site upload or record audio comments and those comments to appear in the comments just like the other comments (expcept for the fact that they are audio, of course).
It would be then nice to have the Ablitiy to then monitor the comments via RSS with enclosures.
Thats the plugin that I would like to be able to see. If anyone ever writes it, let me know.

For simple polling, Democracy is quite nice. I run it on a blog I created for a high school reunion. Contact Form 2 is great if you need to create a simple contact form on your site and Angsuman's Authenticated WordPress Plugin is super easy if you need to password protect you blog for any reason.

Popularity Content - tells me how popular my posts are by #%, also adds a "Most Popular Posts" sub-tab to the Dashboard tab, you can also change the default values to your fitting. It takes into account permalink views, home views, archive views, etc. and outputs a percentage based upon that. currently, my most popular post was &lquot;Our Gravatars.&rquot;

Totally off topic...but...as you leave Microsoft Robert I join, first day on Monday :)
...And the WP plugin looks really sweet but I'm using Community Server which although is very good isn't quite as cool as WP :( but hey it does everything I want.

Sidebar Widgets and WP-Stats. Very new to blogging (love yours by the way) and think Wordpress is great and there are tons of great plugins.

I like Peter Harkin's Sociable plug in (www.push.cx) a lot, it's gotten a lot of great comments from the C-level people I've been networking with recently in the serach engine community! He is currently working on converting it to other languages, so if you have programming expertise in this area, please give him a shout, he'd probably like to bounce a few things off of you.
Additionally, while we are the subject of video, I'd like people to join me in the fight against non-user enabled automatic starts of video and audio which are springing up everywhere. In discussing this with people, I find the vast majority of Internet users agree with me on this issue. I need your help to make this a reality. Please contact me if you want to join the cause.

My most recent plugin experiment was with the podpress plugin that i used to get my first podcast up and running. I set it up at customersonfire.com and it worked flawlessly, providing several different ways for people listen to the podcast and publishes download numbers right next to the DL links.
My favorite is ROPE (Remote OPML Enabler) which allows you to post from Dave Winer's OPML editor. But it's my favorite because I wrote it. ; ) Let me know if you need help setting it up. http://everybuddy.org/software/remote-opml-word...

I could never get this plugin to work for my wordpress blog that I use for my podcast. I never could find help on it either.
I suppose it must be UTW - picking one is tricky and whilst I would rather have none, I seem to have landed up with twenty or so (see: http://box400.com/plugins/).
Happy Sunday.

David, I agree. I hate it when my speakers start playing something just cause I visit a Web site.

Oh yeah, good call on coComment Enhancer Christian, mind you I wish the comment aggregators would shake out and one definite winner emerge and get embedded in the blogging tools.
My favorite, since I do video, has to be Enric's vPIP (videos Play in Place). It's an easy way to embed QT, WMV or Flash into a blog entry in a nice integrated way. I use it for all our GETV vids.
I also second Ultimate Tag Warrior. Plug-n-play web 2.0 compliance!

I like the motivational comments one. When I log-in, I see a line of text which motivates me to do something :D

Video plugins for comments on Wordpress would be cool I think. I am also like the motivational comments that inspire.

BAStats is the very best WordPress Plugin there is around. It does the best free statistics I've seen. I'm addicted to it. Even though it is beta it has worked flawlessly for me.

Robert, I have coded my own blog including the spam block. Why dont you promote me too :D. Yes it will be download able in a short time.
Ooh, I use a lot of WP plugins. Favorites: Podpress, the ultimate plugin. Embeds any type of media in a blog post and adds it as media enclosures to your rss feed. With iTunes settings and everything. Amazing. Ultimate Tag Warrior. As cool as its name. Lets you tag posts with optional links to del.icio.us, generates rss feeds for every tag, etc. Works out of the box, too. Spam Karma 2. The best anti spam tool ever, with a lot of manual settings and stuff. It's brilliant. WP-notable, adds social bookmarking links. Democracy. Great Ajax poll. FlickrRSS, display your Flickr photos on your blog in a nice way. Get Recent Comments less popular but still better than Brian's Latest Comments. Lightbox 2.0: linking to images will be astonishingly beautiful, with javascript and all. Search Everything. Searches will include pages and comments instead of just blog posts. Wordpress Mobile Edition. I use my cellphone to visit blogs every now and then, this makes your site far more easily accessible. Search Meter Keeps track of what your visitors look for on your site. Nifty. iimage browser. Better than the standard image uploading functionality.

I can't stop! I might just as well finish the list :-)
Adsense Deluxe: manage your Adsense ads. Comment Quicktags. Because your visitors don't know HTML or phpBBcode or other thingies. Customisable Post Listings. If you want to list/present your blog posts in a more sophisticated fashion. Draft Notifier. Great for group blogs: sends you mail when a newbie posted a draft. Event Calendar. Best calendar plugin. Landing Sites. Great for letting newcomers (from search engines) stick around: they will be presented by a list of blog posts that are related to what they're looking for. Plug 'n Play Google Map: use Google Maps in your posts. WP-print: becaus some people don't like to read from a screen.
YES, that were only my favorites. I've used hundreds, and still use about 70 plugins for the wordpress sites I've made. A list of plugins can be found here.

Is there a similar video-plugin like this for Movable Type? We've done ours manually to date, and are plannign to build out a custom feature for our own team if there isn't something already available off the shelf.

Akismet is stunningly effective. One of my sites had 13,000+ comment spams caught with one or two missed. Absolutely amazing.
The WordPress theme Tarski I did with a friend isn't bad, either, if I may say so myself. ;-)

I use a lot of plugins on my two weblogs, simply I could not have a fully localized blog without help of this plugin. But my favorites: Flickr Photo Gallery: for helping me to create a great photo album, Audio Player which is a great plugin for podcasters (I'm not one but have some posts including short audio). Akismet: for helping me to maintain a clean comments section, and also default wordpress database backup plugin.
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. You will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you don't post this comment to at least 3 videos, you will die within 2 days. Copy and paste this, to be saved

I stopped blogging once upon a time simply because of all the comment spam and it brought me back into the fold. How's THAT for an endorsement? heheh

My favorite staple plugins have to be the google site map plugin and the amazing Ultimate Tag Warrior.

Happy Sunday.
I like the little coComment embed you can have in your sidebar, somehow it extends the conversation beyond your own blog and higlights the other blogs your on.
Cheers,
