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…

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!

create a Mail.app plugin.
Create a plugin for Apple's Mail.app and others.
322 votesI agree, support Mail.app would be awesome — we want you to be able to just continuing whatever email client you prefer. Right now we’re focussed on making Rapportive the best Gmail plugin in the world; in the medium term we will take what we’ve learnt in Gmail and apply it across other email clients.
That means it might unfortunately take a little while until we get to supporting Mail.app, but it definitely will come.
Best,

Allow users to report bad/abusive profile matches
One good example is:
discship@netflix.comAnyone getting Netflix emails gets links to some chick's myspace page. There should be a button to report bogus links so you can easily count reports & spot high value offenders.
181 votesYup, we want to do this. (In the meantime, until we put in a proper “report” button, we’d appreciate it if you could drop us an email at support@rapportive.com if you find abusive profiles!)

We will soon be allowing you to add any website to Rapportive. Thanks for your patience! :)

Include Google+ feeds for that contact
I suspect that this is already on your radar, but it would be nice to see Google+ added to rapportive, and for G+ support to include a display of public posts/posts shared with me.
93 votesHi Chris,
This is definitely something we’ll look into supporting — we just have to wait for Google to release an API :).

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?

Allow me to add my blog to my profile
When editing my profile I should be able to add a link to my blog or provide a standard RSS feed.
46 votesWe definitely want to support this.
If you use one of the big hosted blogging platforms – e.g. Blogger, Tumblr, Posterous, Wordpress – then this should work right now: see http://rapportive.com/faq#features. Let us know if the platform you use isn’t supported.
If you host your own blog, or you use the “personalised URL” feature of one of those platforms, it would be really helpful if you could leave a comment here telling us what blogging software you use, so we can work out the best way to support this. (Please don’t link to your blog in the comments, but feel free to email a link to support@rapportive.com if it would help to explain how your blog is set up.)

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.

Show the group actions buttons from the People Widget
Rapportive currently doesn't provide a way to "Start a group chat". "invite everyone to a Google Calendar event", or "email the current group of people".
32 votesHi All,
We’re planning to do this, if you vote for this idea, we’ll be able to prioritise accordingly; and as a nice bonus, we’ll let you know when it’s done :).

Suggest possible facebook/linked in profiles if you can't find an email
You didn't seem to find a lot of people who are already friends on facebook. If you searched my connections, you could find similar names and ask me to tell you if you have found the right person
26 votesHi Ambarish,
This is definitely something we’re planning for the future. Thanks for the reminder :).

Make Rapportive Work with Xobni for Gmail
This may not be something you can control (so I'm making the suggestion to Xobni as well), but currently enabling Xobni extension makes Rapportive disappear. Before getting Xobni, I had my chats on the right-hand side (Labs) where Xobni now sits, then Rapportive would appear to the left of that. I thought it worked fine. The same would be true of Xobni & Rapportive working together, there's space for both, especially with chat moved back to the left.
23 votesHi Tevya,
This is definitely something we want to support — though obviously it’s a little bit tricky to make sure it works well.
I’ll keep you updated as thins progress,

Accommodate / integrate the new Google+ functionality Google announced today
See http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/gmail-and-contacts-get-better-with.html
I love that Rapportive currently does NOT detract ANYTHING of value from the GMail interface... but today Google dropped in a very rapportive-like feature, which gets squashed by rapportive.
You've only had a few HOURS to work on it, but I thought I'd open the suggestion anyway.9 votesHi Troy,
We share the same feelings — will keep this story updated as things progress!

Detect Google Groups / Mailing lists in general
When I receive a digest from a Google Group (e.g. django-non-relational@googlegroups.com) it would be far more useful to see the description of the group rather than a generic blurb about Google Groups.
(In the general case, many mailing lists are recognised by GMail, producing text of the form "mailing list python-list.python.org Filter messages from this mailing list".)
9 votesHi Wilfred,
Thanks for getting in touch — that’s an awesome idea!
I’ll update this story as we make progress,

Secret Cornify Link!
Somewhere in the UI, get an invisible pixel that Cornify's Gmail.
Useless, but awesome.
9 votes:D Best suggestion evar! I’ll see whether we can easily add this — we should certainly allow people to put a cornify link on their profiles :).

allow to combine or uncombine claimed emails
Evidently I screwed up and didn't combine one of my emails. I see no way of changing that. Is there?
8 votesHi Bryan,
I’m afraid there’s currently no way to do that in the user-interface, however if you email me the addresses to supportive@rapportive.com, I can fix them up for you.
Thanks

tweak the twitter integration
I think the following tweaks would improve the twitter integration:
at the moment if I click a link from a tweet it doesn't follow the link, it closes the tweets panel.
don't include replies
make retweets look smarter or don't include them.
8 votesThese are good ideas – and #1 is my bad, sorry! We’ll get on these.
Presumably by “smarter” you’re referring to Twitter’s new UI for “native” retweets, where there’s a little “RT” icon?

allow to accept linked invitations when an invitation mail is opened in the browser.
Currently, when an email is sent from linkedin invitations, rapportive does not understand that it is an invitation from a particular user and give any option to accept that invitation.
8 votesHi Roopesh,
That’s an awesome idea! Definitely something we should do when we get a spare few minutes :).
Thanks, and please let us know if you think of anything else,

Look up Facebook profiles by name
When I view contact who has a friendly name as well as email address, which is almost always the case, you should search my friends for a match and display their profile information. I connected Facebook and enabled richer profiles, but I get no results for any of my friends, which leads me to believe you are only searching by email address. Most people do not list their email address in their Facebook profile. You should additionally be trying to find their profile by their name.
8 votesHi Ethan,
We’ve been meaning to do this for a while — thanks for the reminder!
