Two Twitter Wordpress Plugins from Smahing Magazine

1. Twittar Wordpress Plugin: This plugin will show your Twitter avatars [avatar for comments] in comments in WordPress blogs. Features : 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.

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.
