Allow users to specify information for their contacts
Let us specify what email addresses, social networking sites etc are shown. Could pull the data directly from Gmail's contacts, be saved on a server or locally. Several contacts have multiple email addresses and use one for email and a different one for managing various accounts. This prevents rapportive from being able to find their profiles.
400 votesWe are definitely going to let you edit your contact records for other people. Right now, we’re working on giving you as much context as we can about your contacts without making you do the work of filling in their details, but we know that’s not enough on its own.
When we enable editing other people’s profiles, the edits will be private to you: in other words, if you edit someone’s profile, we’ll show you the edited version, but other people won’t see your edits. That’s because your contact data belongs to you, and we won’t share it without your consent; it’s also to protect the privacy of people who might not want their social network profiles being revealed in public.
If you have any ideas on how you would like this to work, please do let us know in the comments!

Make Rapportive play better with other Gmail customisations
Rapportive block is moving with scrolling up and down and this cause it to overcome on other blocks and makes both unreadable.
For example, I've currently Rapportive block and Etacts (etacts.com) on the right hand side. When I scroll down, Rapportive block comes over Etacts block and making reading any of the information in both to be impossible.
51 votesSorry that we don’t work well if you have Etacts enabled!
We try to fit in nicely into the Gmail interface, but unfortunately there are so many ways to customise it that we don’t always get it right!
We’ll see what we can do to coexist with customisations like this.

mine and consolidate gmail and other accounts to master
With hundreds of projects each with their own entire set of emails and accounts over the last decade, I need to mine and consolidate all possible correlations to a single master account for management. This should include gmail and all the other email systems, messaging, and polling thread and news topics for correlated email accounts or other trackable data. Obviously the gmail Invite emails should be traced and listed from the account, but only 60% are hierarchical at most. lee@royalgardens.us

figure out how to display contact info for multiple contacts. provide a more link if needed.
when you are emailing with multiple recipients/senders, rapportive only displays info for the last one. show info for up to 3 contacts. maybe you can have a more link to allow people to choose to expand if they want.
5 votesHi Mina, thanks for the feedback — we’re looking into this. In the meantime, you can hover your mouse over peoples’ names in the sender and recipient lists, and we’ll show their details.
Does that help?
Best,

Also enhance data in the Contacts view
It'd be neat to have Rapportive enhance the contact data for a person right in their profile in the Contacts (address book) view.
251 votesCould you suggest how you would like this to work? We don’t want to run the risk of being confusing – if we show our sidebar, which is basically a contact record, next to the existing Google contact record, it would look a bit weird, especially if the data we have isn’t the same as what you’ve got in your address book.
What would you find most useful to augment Google Contacts? Or is the main benefit that you’d be able to search directly for a contact (as Michelle describes) rather than having to first find an email from them?

Display a contact's status updates from social networks
I'd like to be able to see the latest tweets / facebook posts / buzz from someone when their profile pops up on the side.
Maybe one effective way to do this would be to have an options panel within Chrome, where you can define which of the data pulled in is expanded and which should just remain a link. Also, you can use the options page to connect to services like Twitter / Facebook. This might help pull up protected tweets as well
325 votesWe already show recent tweets: just click on the Twitter link in the sidebar and it’ll expand to show their most recent tweets. (I find this pretty useful!)
We’re working on doing similar things for Facebook, LinkedIn and other networks too. We’ll probably need to ask you to log into each of those networks before we could display information from them, and it will probably only work for people you were already friends with. We’ve got some ideas on how to make integration with social networks really useful.
I’ll update here when there’s more news on this.

At the moment you can add a link to your hyves.nl profile when you are logged in to rapportive. Finding information and connections automatically will be harder, though it looks like there’s a pretty nice API.

Detect notification emails from social networks
Notifications from Facebook come from **@facebookmail.com. Rapportive should show information about the Facebook user who caused the notification, instead of about Facebook itself. If there's a filter that reads "NAME commented on a photo of you on Facebook" in the subject line, Rapportive should look for NAME instead of *@face**.com. This should work with every other service, since their subjects are pre-formatted. Hope you implement this without the need to connect to every other social network, just a smart subject filter. Greetings from Mexico!
262 votesWe already support this for Twitter. Next time you get a notification email that someone is following you, or has sent you a DM, check the sidebar: we show you that person’s tweets and any other information we could find about them.
Support for other networks is planned!

Incorporate contact info found on social networking sites
Include all the contact info that is listed on all the various social networking sites. For instance, note the person's other email addresses, phone #s, instant Messager screen names, Skype IDs, etc. that are listed on facebook, linkedin, etc.
This will augment the contact info you already have + make it easy for you to contact the person you're corresponding with if you have any questions about their email or whatnot.
16 votesThis is a great idea, thanks! We do plan to make more use of information that is already available on various sites, to the extent that we are allowed to use it.

We are planning to support this in some form. Would be great to hear more about how you’d like this to work. Who would you like to share your notes with? Are there any systems you use for this currently, and what do you like and dislike about them?

Stop slowing down my gmail loading times...
I really like the app, but these days, you seems to have some delays on some logging stuff above logging in gmail...
this means that I have blank time with "connecting to rapportive" or some stuff...
I can't afford to wait for gmail to load (fast load time is why I like it)
do your stuff after logging or do it faster, or I will (regretly) have to stop using your app
35 votesReally sorry if we’re making Gmail take longer to load! That’s a bug, and we’ll fix it.

Provide email statistics from recepient
Statistics like how many emails have I received from this person?, How many emails have I send today, yesterday, last month, etc. ?What's my busiest hour?, % of spam received (based on spam filter in gmail)? Average time for a person to respond an email?
61 votesCould you tell me what statistics you would find most useful? e.g. statistics about yourself or about your contacts? Do you think this would help you to use email more effectively?
We already show a simple statistic – if you click the “my profile” link at the bottom of any sidebar, or hover over your own name in a conversation, we’ll show you how many times your profile has been viewed by people you email.

I really like this idea (I’d use it too!). Integrating it with Google Tasks is also a pretty cool idea (would play nicely with mobile sync!).

Picasa is missing
Just like other networks, I think Picasa integration is missing too.

Publish a blacklist of third parties
I suggestion for improving your reputation:
Since you said that you are vetting third parties for their privacy standards, I suggest a public blacklist of those not private enough.
This would both increase your reputation as well as acting as an incentive for them to change.Plus, this could also act as an incentive for a greater amount of ACL-powered API (read "from" field = yes; read "subject" field = no…) and their generalisation.

More Information
Rapportive should allow us to type any address and find information. not just from the inbox we got

Keep the Google ads
I find the gmail ads helpful, and I don't want to cheat google out of their money (since they provide me with great software) - is there a way to turn off ad blocking and just slide the ads down the page?
34 votesWe don’t want to cheat anyone out of anything. We do believe the context we provide is a much more valuable use of the limited sidebar space than the ads it replaces; and we think that creates value both for Google and for its users.
We would of course look at adding an option to restore the ads if there was enough demand for it – but it would be hard to present a good user experience, as there just isn’t that much room in the sidebar!

For emails from a blog, show the other most recent updates next to it
Say I get an email from Harvard Business Review.
Figure out where the email is from, then show me other posts from that blog next to the post I'm reading.
0 votesGood idea, I like it! I hope we can make this happen soon.

Let users search manually for email adresses
I would like to be able to just look somebody up. You're service is great for this but untill now I can only look up people who mailed me...
17 votesThanks, that’s a good idea — we’re trying to find a good way of making this possible.

Show all e-mail addresses in an e-mail in the right sidebar. Hover over to reveal matching profile.
Hovering over a hyperlinked e-mail address reveals the matching profile, which is great. Even more convenient would be a listing out of those addresses in the right sidebar to save scrolling through an e-mail conversation. Not sure where the ideal location would be. Below the profile, perhaps?
5 votesAs Rob notes in the description, you can already look up other addresses in a conversation by hovering the mouse over them. This works both for other people the email was sent to (in the header at the top of each email), and for email addresses written in the email itself.
We know it’s not obvious that you can do that! We’re planning to redesign the sidebar soon, and that will probably offer a more discoverable way to view profiles for all the people in the conversation. We’ll update here when there’s news.
