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 empowers users to assign "cred" points to each other in areas of alleged expertise.

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.
