Jyte is a consumer website created by JanRain, a software company located in Portland, Oregon. According to the developers, Jyte allows you to "make claims about yourself, others, or just about anything". [1] Other users can the vote up (agree) or vote down (disagree) with each claim. Jyte is also an experiment in online credibility management; it lets users assign "cred" points to each other in areas of alleged expertise. This increases their "cred score", which is designed to give an idea of how trustworthy they are.
Created in late January 2007, Jyte is an acronym for "Just You Tell 'Em" [2]. The site was developed primarily with Ruby on Rails, and is interoperable with other sites by means of several APIs [3].
Jyte is notable for relying solely on OpenID for logging in and registering their users.
