Probably there're several people already who have links to Jyte profiles on personal web sites... why not show off your cred and opinion in resumes as well?
One might also avoid some (silly) job interview questions afterwards. ;-)
Surely, something like this would indicate a geek sitting across the desk.

With the crazy cred I get, God forbid!!!
Well, Jyte is the 65,000th most popular website on the WHOLE INTERNETS, so certainly that would at least impress, like, McDonald's
Well, speaking of eating your own dog food, not every bite is tasty. So, everyone should choose wisely what goes out onto the internets and what goes into the resume. ;-)
Sure, I'll be posting my Jyte profile when I apply for that lucrative anal whore position ;)
Ukii, that should cut your time spent on interviewing in half. ;-)
If a big compagny sell the idea to use Jyte to human resources, yes.
Jyte would have to grow a lot before this would happen. It would be entirely possible (many employers will check applicants' Myspace accounts), but I maintain that we are a long way off from that. Also, it is standard process for some companies to Google stalk applicants, so if you use your actual name as opposed to a hande, be careful what you type.
@Das Boot: I agree that it will require one hell of a cumulative effort for Jyte to prosper that much.
It is because of this that my claim is inherently hopeful and begins with "One day". :-)
