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!

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?

Allow indicating when several email addresses are the same person
Many people use two or three email addresses: one for business and the other one for social stuff. If I know both of them, why can't I get the same info on both of them?
1,352 votesWe’ve made some progress on this: once you’ve connected your Google Contacts to Rapportive (http://blog.rapportive.com/address-book-inbox-together-at-last), then if you have several email addresses for a contact, we’ll recognise that the different email addresses are the same person, and show the same profile for all of them. This means you can “link” two profiles together by creating a contact in Google Contacts with both of the email addresses – however please note we could take up to a day to notice the change.
If we determine from your Google Contacts that two email addresses are the same person, that will be private to you – i.e. you’ll see the same information for that person from then on, but other people will still see them as separate. That’s because people often want to keep their personal and professional identities separate in public.
We know there are times when you want to…

"inbox view"
When "mail.google.com" loads (the "inbox view") the emails from people
in my crm/social networks should be "glowing" or "jumping out at me".
I LOVE your guys' product as is, but won't you really be maximizing
efficacy by splitting the inbox into two "virtual" inboxes: one being
messages to me from outside my crm/social network and two being those
messages from people already in my crm/social network.If you add this feature, not only will you meet your desired target
demo use case but open yourself to the use case for average consumers

Crowdsource information gathering
a lot of my contacts aren't getting any information at all, even though I know that they are all over the web.
the solution:
Let people add twitter accounts, linkedIn profiles ect. themselves, and add it to the cloud of information.and thanks for a great program!
9 votesThis is a really interesting idea — we’d love to make information better by having other Rapportive users contribute. But we need to be very careful to get this right: a lot of information is private, and we can’t make private information public. So we would need to find some way of making very clear what information is just for you, and what is for the community.

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!

Allow users to choose or vote on the pictures found in social networks
On of my contacts has a company logo for his twitter account. However his facebook has a much better logo of him. There should be some sort of choose a good photo, or vote on photos so that it knows not to use the crappy one.
16 votesGreat idea! We’d love you to be able to choose the best photo from a selection. We will look into this as part of our work on generally letting you specify information for your contacts: http://rapportive.com/feedback/529989

When a person has no tweets or protected tweets, make that more clear!
right now the behavior is confusing
3 votesYup, thanks for spotting this! We’ll show an informative message there instead.

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!

Foursquare Integration
Implement Foursquare into the list of sites that is pulled in for the person. Also, maybe you can display the last location of the person (as shared on Foursquare)
30 votesYou can add your Foursquare account to your profile. Click on the ‘my profile’ link in the sidebar, then ‘Add a social network’ and paste in the address of your Foursquare profile. We don’t currently show your last location in the sidebar, but anyone can click through to your Foursquare profile.
This isn’t quite as awesome as automatically searching for Foursquare profiles like we do with Facebook and Twitter, but it’s a first step.

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.
