Show users where you get the individual pieces of profile data from
I'm constantly trying to regain control of my personal information. I was surprised by some of the pieces of accurate and ancient profile information that rapportive was able to glean on me. I'd really like to know where you got this link to my twitter account and other social sites, so that I can do a better job of keeping private what I mean to be private. It would be a nice service.

Hi Logan, thanks for your thoughts. I have changed the status back to "under review", because we're looking into ways of making the information more transparent. It'll take us a while to find a good solution; thanks for your patience. In the meantime, if you have any specific questions, please feel free to email us at supportive@rapportive.com and we will give you all the information we can.

This request should not be declined. I am seeing very weird/old information being shown from Rapportive's sources and would like to track down where this bad information is coming from. It is understandable if certain information comes from sources that cannot be revealed. But I would guess that most of the information that it is pulling from is from a public source (ala Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) and for those there should be a way to see which is creating the data - so if we want to go in there an fix it or alter it we can. Since many of us now have upwards of 10 social media services storing our info at various stages in our lives, being able to see what is being aggregated and then take steps to keep it all aligned and updated would be a very valuable tool. Thank you.

Yeah, this would be superhelpful. Otherwise, I'm stuck directly editing the data in Rapportive, which I don't want to do. My job title was several years old, and it isn't obvious where it came from. If I knew, I could check the source--it didn't look to be Facebook or LinkedIn--and fix it there.
