Just dug up an informative article by the guys/gals of www.mashable.com.  They’ve compiled 300+ of their most useful WordPress plugins.  Some of them are in the same usage league, so it is up to us to check it out ourselves and see which tool among them works best for your need.  Check it out right here.  They also have related articles here and here. (and all the WordPress newbies, like me, say hooray!) I really appreciate people who takes time to

list awesome stuff, kudos Mashable, you guys rock!  It’s interesting that they have categorized it in a helpful way too… check it out, they have grouped it as follows:

1. Plugins for the blogger
2. Plugins for your readers
3. Plugins to battle spam
4. Plugins to encourage commenting
5. Plugins to improve appearance
6. Plugins to enable wealthy comments
7. Plugins to enable avatars
8. Plugins to show off comments
9. Plugins to allow better conversation
10. Plugins to moderate comments effectively
11. and many more….

Got you interested, didn’t I?

For newbies, like me, it is an overwhealming list.  But I still do appreciate it nonetheless.
