Wordbooker

This plugin allows you to cross-post your blog posts to your Facebook Wall. You can also “cross polinate” comments between Facebook and your WordPress blog.
Various options including “attribute” lines and polling for comments and automatic re-posting on edit can be configured.
NOTE : You have to have PHP V5 installed for this plugin to work as the code contains several PHP V5 specific features. By Steve Atty.

Wordbook

Wordbook is WordPress plugin designed to integrate Facebook in your blog and your blog into Facebook. Some of the feature  include Facebook gallery widget, blog posts appear on Facebook Mini-Feed, display almost anything from your Facebook account to your blog.
This is Facebook and WordPress only plugin, it will not be extended to other social network sites or other blogging software. By Vladimir Cvetic @ Ferdinand Development.

 

Facebook Page Publish

Publishes your posts on the wall of a Facebook profile or page.

Version 0.3.4 | By Martin Tschirsich | Visit plugin site

Must create a facebook application because you need a id and app secret, this whole process was kind of a pain in the butt

But once its set up, its easy to use and creates a nice post for facebook automatically if you have the box checked in the post area

 

Post-to-Facebook

Provides the ability to quickly post a blog item to your facebook mini feed.

Version 1.0.5 | By John Tindell | Visit plugin site

No settings, creates a button in the post area to post to facefook, then sends you to facebook to login to post, not a very pretty post, and after I posted to facebook it doesn’t appear to send you back to wp admin area, didn’t’ like this one very much

 

Publish To Facebook

Publishes posts, pages or both to your Facebook Mini-Feed directly from WordPress.

Version 1.0 | By David Goldstein | Visit plugin site

Similar to post to facebook, sends you to facebook when you publish your post for you to share, doesn’t send you right back to wp

 

Simple Facebook Connect – Base

Makes it easy for your site to use Facebook Connect, in a wholly modular way.

Version 0.25 | By Otto | Visit plugin site

Another one that requires you to have a facebook app, plugin installs a base plugin that you turn on first and set up, then has 14 Sub plugins that you can turn on activate the ones you wish to use
