Display more than just 1 photo for a user
If a user has multiple social network accounts (facebook, myspace, linkdin) display more than 1 photo on the top, there's room there for 4 or 5
3 votesHi Yoav,
Great idea :). We’re planning to work on some new design ideas for Rapportive, so we’ll try to incorporate some more images in the future.
Thanks again,

can it be possible to identify secondary emails ids attached with that profile..?
Or searching shud be flexible enuf to guess the identify dveiations to the original id....say x.y.z@gMail.com shud be equivalent to xyz@gmail.com or many more like this..?
3 votesHey Ashwin,
Thanks for getting in touch :)
We’ve made a start on this, so we ignore uppercase vs. lowercase differences in all email addresses, and various .s and +s in gmail addresses.
We’re not yet sure how safe it is to ignore .s and +s in email addresses than aren’t gmail. We’ll do some more analysis, and update Rapportive accordingly.

Hi Tevya,
Thanks for getting in touch :).
We already get people’s photos if they have a Google Profile (for example mine is http://google.com/profiles/conrad.irwin). It would be interesting to see if there is a more reliable way of finding photos from people’s gmails.

that your product suck ... things dont work in crome
or is it that it does not work in crome ?
3 votesHi Ankur,
Sorry to hear Rapportive’s not working for you. It should work in Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
Can you try installing it from The chrome extension gallery? http://bit.ly/chrome_rapportive.
If it still doesn’t work, please drop me an email to supportive@rapportive.com, and I’ll try and work out what’s going wrong.
Thanks

Hi Dave, that’s a great idea, thank you. We’re currently looking into ways of making more efficient use of screen space, and making Rapportive adapt better to small or very large screens. I think it should be possible to collapse the sidebar when space is tight.
If you prefer Rapportive below emails rather than to the right, and you’re on Google Apps, you could try this alternative version of Rapportive: http://rapportive.com/google/home — although it currently doesn’t have all the features of the regular Rapportive.
Best,

De-animate animated GIFs
Some profile pictures are animated GIFs. It's really distracting to have them flashing and spinning on the side of my gmail window.
3 votesHi Keith, good idea, thanks — I can imagine that an animation would be really annoying! We’ll have to look into this to see what we can do.
In the meantime, can you just discourage your contacts from using animated GIFs? :)
Best, Martin

Edit profile buggy.
I add occupations to my rapportive profile, but they vanish immediately. Shouldn't they appear in addition to occupations that application locates on its own?

Mail one reminder if Rapportive is unused for a while
If Rapportive has been used for some amount of time, if a user stops using it for some interval, he should get a single email reminder. He may have reinstalled his OS or switched browsers. The Rapportive logo is tiny and not memorable, which may lead to people forgetting the name. People may not know Rapportive is available for alternate browsers either.
If you want to be really cautious, you could display the option to opt in or out of the reminder within the Rapportive sidebar itself after a few weeks' use.
3 votesHi Brian,
Thanks for getting in touch, and an interesting idea :).
There are other reasons we might want to email these people, for example to find out why they’ve stopped using Rapportive; but we’ll certainly have to find a way of doing it that doesn’t look like spam.

Thanks for getting in touch — what kind of integration would you like to see with Mavenlink? How would it work?

Hey Ray,
We’re planning to do something similar to this — but instead of a thumbnail, just a little snippet of text, along with some helpful links (to the FAQ, or the Blog, or the Contact Us page in addition to the homepage).
Thumbnails are kind of cool — but it’s hard to get across enough useful information — so maybe we’ll come back to them later, but it might not be necessary,

too many failures to find. improve your algorithm and include fuzzy matches using company&name.

Use the MailChimp raplet to add new members to lists.
I'd love to be able to add contacts to my MailChimp lists using the raplet.
3 votesHi Aric,
The MailChimp raplet is controlled by MailChimp themselves, I’ll try and forward your suggestion onto them, but it might have more weight if you ask them yourself.
Thanks

pull in geo-relevant coupons when i see a mail from Groupon, Bloomspot, LivingSocial,...
I'd love to see 3-4 geo-relevant coupons from the daily deal folks when I get an email from them in the rapportive box
3 votesHi Rohit,
That’s a very interesting idea, but I’m not sure it’s something that all of our users want. (One of the things people love about Rapportive is the lack of adverts on the right of their Gmail).
What might be much better is a Raplet that showed coupons — so people can easily opt in to seeing these if they want to.
Would that be a good compromise?

Similar Profiles
I would like to see "Here are other similar people in the company/role" based on the current Rapportive profile I am seeing. I mostly care about this info from Linkedin, others might find it useful from sites like FB, HN, Quora, etc.
3 votesThanks for getting in touch.
This is a really good idea — I imagine it being particularly useful if your contact at a company leaves, or is unresponsive!
We’ll certainly look into this more in the future,

Extract contact information from a (company) website using microformats
On http://www.ufirstgroup.com/ (for example) we embedded the company contact data using microformats. That way it can be automatically extracted by tools like rapportive.
3 votesThis would help us find more information for company addresses, although I’m not sure how many companies actually use microformats on their website. If you have gone to the trouble of doing this, please let us know here!

Limit the number of times the Rapportive contextual gadget is shown on long Gmail conversations
When you have a long conversation in Gmail the entire tab in Chrome freezes while rapportive loads all the data. So if rapportive could detect how many are loading and then just limit itself that would be awesome.
3 votesHi Tim, thanks for your feedback. We’d love to do this, but as far as I’m aware, Google doesn’t give us any way of doing this. Our gadget can’t even detect how many times it is shown on a conversation!
An alternative to the contextual gadget I can recommend our browser extension (for Firefox, Chrome or Safari) which you can download from http://rapportive.com — it shows one sidebar next to the whole conversation, instead of a separate gadget for each message, and it is also more fully-featured.

Thanks David, that would be useful. We used to discover Stack Overflow profiles automatically, but found that it had performance problems. Hopefully we can re-enable them when the API has improved.
Cheers, Martin

Personalized auto-reply templates for inquiries
My website has a generic info@ to capture inbound interest from new users. I get a ton of emails every day but it takes too long to get back to each of them. When I do, though, my users love the personalized response that Rapportive allows me to offer (even if they haven't provided their name/location/etc.). One alternative to responding more quickly is the standard, impersonal, auto-reply - but we all know those totally suck. So what I'd like to do is scrape the name/location from Rapportive, plug those into an auto-reply shell, and buy some time on a proper…
3 votesHi Benjamin, that’s an interesting idea, thank you! At the moment we unfortunately don’t have a way of personalising auto-responders. But it’s something to consider.
In what way are you thinking about personalising the messages? Do you simply plug in the sender’s name in the greeting line, or is it more complicated than that?

should not list someone's tweets at the bottom of email that person has emailed - obnoxs, intrusive
should not list someone's tweets at the bottom of email that person has emailed - obnoxious and intrusive. When I supply an email to my twitter account, that should be private, even to cmopanies such as yours.
3 votesHi,
Thanks for getting in touch. If you want any information removed from Rapportive, please email me at supportive@rapportive.com and I’ll fix it for you immediately.
We’ve found that most people are happy to have their tweets shown in this manner, though obviously we can’t keep everyone happy. You may also be interested in Twitter’s “protected tweets” feature, which stops random people from being able to read your tweets.
Hope this is helpful,
Conrad
