Tweet without ever leaving the page and other functions to make it more valuable for webmasters. Christine,

I often want to tweet (or Digg, or ...), but I don't want to "leave the page" and "jump through hoops" to do it. Would be nice to be able to Digg in one click! Or stay on the site to tweet. Maybe there's a tool that we can offer visitors, that would allow them to just do that. Joel: I agree with you.

Make it easy for your visitors to recommend your articles/posts to their followers. A recommendation from a friend will always outweigh one from anyone else. That's also the big flaw with most existing Twitter tools that are hosted on blogs, they force users to leave the site and make them jump through hoops to tweet a link. Users are lazy, asking them to do anything beyond clicking a button will greatly reduce the odds of them tweeing your item.
