Why is the Tipsy jQuery plugin not working for me?

Question

I am using the latest version of Tipsy from here:https://github.com/jaz303/tipsy

I am including jquery.tipsy.js and tipsy.css, here is my html, the a href is an image:

<div class="social">
    <ul id="social">
        <li class="vimeo" title="Vimeo">
        <a href="#" class="vimeo" title="Vimeo"></a>
    </li>
    </ul>

and jQuery:

$(function() {
    $('.vimeo').tipsy({
        trigger: 'hover', 
        fade: true, 
        gravity: 'n'}
    );
});

Why is this not showing anything at all?

There is a typo in your title. – Wug Jul 06 '12 at 16:39

Cause you are not using any text in your anchor tags

<div class="social">
<ul id="social">
    <li class="vimeo" title="Vimeo">
<a href="#" class="vimeo" title="Vimeo"></a>
</li>
</ul>

Put some thing here >>

   <a href="#" class="vimeo" title="Vimeo">HERE</a>

you need to check this : http://jsfiddle.net/f4RTs/

Also your li and a tag has same class so you will see two titles on hover
