Hi. I've got a small question & a large question.
Small question: Can anyone recommend a good, simple Twitter module for Drupal 6.x. I just want to put an admin's tweets on a site -- nothing too fancy here. Something that uses Views would be nice.
Large question: What's the best way find out the best (or at least most popular) modules (or themes) on Drupal.org? For example, when I search modules for "twitter," I get back three pages of Twitter-related modules. More than half of these seem like they might do the job. But lacking any obvious rating system or download stats, it looks like I'm headed for the same learning curve as everyone else: pick one, try it, if unsatisfied try again. You know...fishing. I sense the community is there to help me, but I'm not sure how to leverage it. Should I head to IRC?
Thanks!

1) FeedAPI module to pull
1) FeedAPI module to pull in your Twitter feed as nodes and manipulate via Views to throw into a block, sort, filter, etc. Maybe there's a twitter-specific module that does something like this but if there's a feed, this is the way I'd go.

I'm using Jeff Eaton's Twitter module (http://drupal.org/project/twitter) on my main blogging site. I've been very happy with it so far and it uses Views for display.
