Before I reinvent the wheel here, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions
for some nice plugins in the following vein:

1) Googla Analytic event/goal tracking:  I've done this manually three or
four times now and it get's old.  I want a plugin & component system so I
can define events and goals in one component, and then when calling the
system plugin it checks the page and adds the regularly google analytic
tracking as well as the event/goal tracking to the end.  It is simplisity
itself to add it, the main thing is a friendly gui to add it.

Moreover, it should utilize the javascript console.log function to spit that
information out for Firebug to pick up on[speaking of which, anyone know if
a decent version of Firebug is coming for Chrome?].  I Despise having to
wait a day to see what logging information should be going to google, so
this is helpful.

2) Debug to console: instead of sending debugging crap to the screen, I want
to send it to the console.  That way I can leave debugging enabled while
testing, move from network to network, and it doesn't affect the view of the
website.

3) Advanced email functionality.  Choosing email libraries.  Setting a
message queue, etc.

4) Webthumbs image repository: a simple system plugin to check for external
url's on a page AFTER the page is rendered[no reason to slow down the user]
and submit  webthumbs capture based on some rules...  I'll use a callback to
pick the webthumbs up later and update the database[then leading to item 2,
a before render plugin to check for links in the database and swap them out
with webthumbs].

Simple, small, effective libraries.
