(simply, the best)
Like other MMO's, Light Chat Bubbles plugin (formerly FloatingChat) buffers your messages and sticks them with text labels above your head for a while... it doesn't require any heavy libary and is extremely lightweight and fast
If you used to play other games with chat bubbles, find hard to know where your friends are talking from, feel annoyed of being watching world and chat window everytime, miss some important messages, or simply like chat bubbles but haven't find a light and good plugin, then this one is for you.

More info:
I just finished the plugin and i wanted to share with you, soon i will continue publishing the gpl'ed source code and shaping this page (done -> here) ... not known bugs yet, but note that currently is not possible to make per player configurations as entities are viewed by everyone in the server.
To install the plugin just copy/move the .jar to <craftbukkit folder>/plugins/ and restart/reload the server. To configure read and edit the generated configuration file and restart/reload the server again to apply.
¡Viva Chile!
