The AddThis service offers a very nice selection of features and their plugin for Movable Type is very simple to implement
Simply download the plugin. Upload the entire "AddThis" folder into your MovableType plugin directory and you're practically done. All you need to do then is add the new template tag to your site and you can start using it.

I intend to add it to several other MT sites that I run over the next few days.

MT Hacks have released an updated version of their Twitter Comments plugin which now supports OAuth.
OAuth support is a welcome addition, as it means that you do not need to share your Twitter login details with a 3rd party website.
Full details, demo and download from their site

Anyway, if you have a TypePad account you can use it as your OpenID on a growing number of sites and services.
If the site / service does not explicitly mention typepad the address (URL) you need to use is:
profile.typepad.com/usernameYou just need to replace "username" with your actual TypePad username and off you go!
Ian Fenn's Twitter plugin works really well, so I won't be changing as yet....
However there's always room for new and more feature rich plugins, so the latest Twitter plugin is very welcome.
Rob Kenny's Hashtag plugin adds support for hashtags - which are becoming increasingly popular among twitter users.
SixApart have released MovableType 4.24.
This release, while minor, is aimed at addressing a security issue which SixApart informed its partners about earlier during the week. They released a patch at the time, though have not provided any details as to what the actual security problem was.
The new version of MovableType does, however, bring one new feature - an improved password recovery method:

Rolled into the MTE 4.24, MT Pro 4.24, and MTOS 4.24 release, however, is an improved Password Recovery mechanism. Now only an email address is required for MT to trigger the recovery email, making the Password Hint obsolete.This is a welcome improvement!
If you frequent the 6Apart websites for Movable Type you'd be forgiven for getting a bit confused at times.
Up until earlier tonight there were two user support forums in operation!
Why?
Legacy issues basically...
As of a few hours ago the old forums are dead and everyone is being directed to the new ones... which are powered by Movable Type
