tipsy is a jQuery plugin that generates Facebook-style tooltips for web page elements. It supports fading, gravity-based positioning, and is used by sites like Twitter, GitHub, and Bitbucket.

When to choose
- you maintain a legacy jQuery codebase and need simple tooltips
- you want a lightweight, MIT-licensed tooltip plugin with proven usage
When to avoid
