Twitter Bookmarklets: Frame of Reference or Obloquy?

In my recent search for the perfect Twitter bookmarklet, one that would let me post from page without leaving nasty tracks in my Tweets, I noted a trend that all but BigTweet seemed to sow, in one shade or another; namely, the urge to take over and remake, to rendite, Cheney-like, beyond home:

The blue line above, spanning the horizon, demarcates the framing (or stealing) of the site URL Tweeted. True it is traded for providing the clicking Twit convenience, yet what does the site Tweeted get but a pageview in stats?

A RT, perhaps, but we know from usability that last in line isn't exactly the best place to be. Placement is illustrative in the above, as is color: anyone think the fading is an oversight?
