Description=
"PieTrust is an "open company" developing a secure reputation system for sharing credit. Our system can be used to help projects reward contributors, to allow people to rate each others' skills on social networks, or as a reputation system that can be integrated into other websites. The core of our system is a collusion-resistant algorithm (implemented as a web service) that takes peer evaluations as input, and produces as output a reputation score for each person. The reputation scores can be used in various ways:
* to make decisions in which the most respected people have the most weight * to make payments proportional to reputation * to trade services using reputation as form of compensation * to assess the skill levels of other individuals via peer evaluation"
