15. Twitter Input Filter
This module provides a new input filter (reference [1]) which allows to easily create links to site user and nodes. The syntax used to create links is similar to twitter and hence the name. The string prefixed with @ symbol will create link to user. Similarly the string prefixed with # will create link to node. If the node or user being referenced is not found, a link to search page can be created optionally. This feature can be used in node body field, comments, CCK textarea field.
16. Daily Twitter
Daily Twitter provides effectively the same kind of service that LoudTwitter does, except that it is managed within your own drupal site. What this amounts to is that, every day, Daily Twitter will pull a list of Twitter posts that a user has made, pull them together in a list, and post them as a blog entry to the user’s Drupal blog.

Juitter is a jQuery plugin to put Twitter search results live on your site.
18. Social Login
This module adds Social Login on a Drupal website letting users log in through their existing IDs such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo and over 15 more! This eliminates lengthy registration process i.e. filling up a long registration form, verifying email ID, remembering another username and password so your users are just one click away from logging in to your website. Other than social login, this plugin also provides User Profile Data and Social Analytics.
19. Media: Slideshare

20. Drag to Share
This module uses JQuery to add a fun and non-intrustive way of sharing the current node with social media sites: currently Twitter, Delicious, Digg, Facebook. Images become draggable and can be dropped onto logos that animate onto the screen to share the page.
21. TwitterMiner
You specify hashtags or users and, optionally, language, and the TwitterMiner module scours twitter’s API and saves the matching tweets. The module defines a new table in your Drupal database named ‘twitterminer_tweets’ and stores all of the tweets in it. The point of mining tweets is to make them accessible for long term data analysis. Twitter only makes tweets accessible for one week through their API.
