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. [2]
