Hi again Jjwa :),
Another awesome idea — thank you! We left this out of version 1 of the feature, because we thought it might be a bit confusing. Now we know that people really want it, we can add it in the future.

Hi jjwa,
Ok, thanks for clarifying — that makes a lot of sense!
I’ll keep the story up-to-date as we make progress in that direction,

It does not really matter what you call it (or maybe you even allow us to type the title for the field ourselves!), as long as we can write a little bit there, it can be quite helpful :).
But being able to claim/link/manage your addresses further always helps to improve Rapportive of course :).
(Man you are fast, this was up for just minutes!)

We’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…

Hi Joe,
Thanks for adding this :). For the record, what do you use the notes in Google Contacts for?

An error occurred while saving the comment jjwa commentedI guess Rapportive inside Google's own Gmail application would never happen. But there are already other services linking their information to contacts in my Contacts, like Facebook and Twitter. It's their own official apps doing this for me, so I guess the things needed to support it are already in place for Google. They call it SNS data I believe.
It looks like it's already mentioned, but repeating it never hurts :).

Great 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

Could 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?
An error occurred while saving the comment jjwa commentedI would like if it simply had the Rapportive sidebar beside the normal view. If the data you have isn't the same as in the address book? Well, that is exactly why I want it next to each other, so I can complement one with the other.
Not having to find an email is also a large reason for me.

Sorry 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.

We 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!

This 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.

Hi James, this is an interesting idea. In these cases, how are people giving your their email address? Is it on a business card, or over the phone, or some other way?

We’re looking at ways to be less obtrusive when we couldn’t find any information, and also at ways to find more information :) Hiding the sidebar is a good idea.

Hey folks, we’re nearly done on this. When we’re ready, we’ll release a small beta test to everybody who’s voted on the idea. Thank you for waiting :)
Rahul, CEO of Rapportive
Sounds good!
