Quick and easy voting on claims |
Saw Jyte at TechCrunch today, signed up and found with its OpenID registration structure easy to jump into. I’d like to see more sites using OpenID. You just sign up with your OpenID and start agreeing (thumbs up) or disagreeing (thumbs down) on claims made by others.
A claim is something you believe to be true and others can either agree or disagree.
You can also create your own claims, add comments about other claims, give and receive “cred” as well as the all important ability to embed claims in your blog/website so others can agree/disagree using an IFRAME:
Unfortunately the text gets cut off on longer claims.
This gave me a good opportunity to set this site up as my primary login URL for OpenID and myOpenID provides good instructions how to do that. ‘TDavid’ was already taken at MyOpenID but ‘TD’ was available when usually it’s the other way around, go figure.
Here’s another Jyte claim I made:
Looks nice embedded in a post, doesn’t it? Bookmarked.
Update 2/21/07 5:32am PST: I noticed in the RSS by email (Feedblitz) the IFRAME embeds do not work, so those who read in email didn’t see these in this morning’s email.
Did this post make you go hmm?

Got to love adsense keywords…
Did you notice the ads that turned up because you said “…Claim” in your title?
Crack up… hope you made some $

Hi Andy - actually I coded things not to show me any Adsense ads so I intentionally don’t pay attention to them. Using another computer not logged in as me, I just looked though on your comment and those ads aren’t related. This post has nothing to do with that as you noted. I wonder how many Jyte pages are going to show unrelated ads like that? They are indeed ‘claims’, just not those kind of claims. (notice how I’ve avoided using the ‘i’ word in this comment response).
Did you check out Jyte, BTW? What did you think?

[…] a page or add that page to your website using some copy/paste JavaScript. There are voting elements similar to Jyte that are labeled “cheers.” You can leave comments about each suggestion. I didn’t […]
