I didn’t want to leave my great readers out of the loop on this, so I’m going to post the day’s collection from my Twitter project here for your enjoyment.

In honor of #pluginSunday, which is my attempt at a Twitter movement, below are some great resources for some of the hottest jQuery plugins making their rounds through the interwebs to date…

  • Lazy-loading images
  • Increasing click-target size
  • And many other “utility” plugins
