Jyte is a simple service that allows you to associate claims, credibility and contacts to build a reputation with your OpenID: Claims: Claims are exactly what you’d think they are; claims about you or someone you know. They can be as random as “Scott Kveton likes Red Bull” to something more meaningful like “Gabe Wachob is trustworthy”. Users can then vote on these claims helping either confirm or refute them. Since these claims are tied to an OpenID, you could feasibly use them anywhere that OpenID is supported. We’ll have a claim widget coming out soon that will allow you to embed claims into your blog, wiki, etc. Cred: Jyte uses a “gift-based economy” for people interested in developing their on-line credibility. A similar reputation currency called “whuffie” is featured in Cory Doctorow’s science fiction novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. You can give another user cred using tags to signify that you respect their abilities or qualities in a certain area. For example, if you think your friend Jason is good at darts, you would give him cred using the tag “darts”. If you are a dart expert, and already have lots of “darts” cred, then Jason’s “darts” cred will go up quite a bit. If you have no “darts” cred, Jason will get only a small amount of “darts” cred. If you know somebody that deserves some cred, you can give it to them on their profile page.

    A website where you post a "claim" and users click a thumbs up or thumbs down icon. Perhaps an interesting idea but I find it pointless and a waste of time.
