Surely this is just a case of analyzing twitter users who mentions your url (or any url with your domain, even), and then ranking them by Klout (or just follower score)?
(This would then pick up tweets that don't use a button, too.)
Point is, that is a backend process, why should I change my site's buttons?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
He didn't have a tweet button before www.wil.lt? We just copied his tweet. We have no idea who he is.
Oh, didn't think about that. Just assumed people who would use this already use a tweet button and are interested in more statistical information regarding the people that tweet about their page.
Great idea - I just don't understand why this needs a different/proprietary button in its implementation.

b) You can use any button you want. We provide simple iframe implementations for our button and a Twitter tweet button. We also give you code to attach to any js event.

For example, if I tweet about tech things, I'll get many clicks since most of my followers are techies. If I tweet about horses, ... not so many clicks and therefore I have a poorer influence for "horses".
Klout and # of followers abstract away these fine-grained details that, IMO, are critically important in determining social influence.
I'm assuming you create a unique short url for each Twitter user. So retweets will be credited to the original tweeter. Is that correct ?
Isn't this the same as http://totally.awe.sm/ ?
