Vouchor.com

www.vouchor.com is a site that was bound to come about.  It allows people to be registered and their true identity “vouched” for.  The internet was founded on anonymity but people are sure to get tired of just hoping they can trust someone with their personal information when they order something or when they sign up for a site. 

 Also, you can get vouched and then when you go to, say, e-bay, you will have a vouch number that will certify your identity to e-bay. 

It had to happen, and I think it is a very good idea, but the problem is:  how does www.vouchor.com become known as a reputable firm that people will want to sign up with or go there to see if someone is “vouched” for.  I guess this is a stay-tuned type of website for now, and one that the main enterpreneurs like google and yahoo are sure to jump on the band wagon sooner or later.

How does one determine the credibility and honesty of this site?

That was part of my point in what I originally wrote. I think this is a great idea, but can this unknown site get a following before the big boys jump in?
