3. Why should I add the Twittley Button to my site?

The Twittley Button is a very powerful tool. When a user visiting your site clicks retweet on our Twittley Button a few things happen. First, without even leaving the site a link to that page will be automatically added to the users Twitter profile. Second, a vote is registered at Twittley. If a page gets enough votes (from users with Karma), it will show up on the front page of Twittley. From there, every user that votes will also post a link to their Twitter followers. Essentially, users will be retweeting a link to your page without even leaving your web site. Something our competitors don't offer. Kinda makes you ask why you'd use a button that takes users away from your site when you could be using the Twittley Button, right?
