Could you tell me what statistics you would find most useful? e.g. statistics about yourself or about your contacts? Do you think this would help you to use email more effectively?
We already show a simple statistic – if you click the “my profile” link at the bottom of any sidebar, or hover over your own name in a conversation, we’ll show you how many times your profile has been viewed by people you email.

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,
MartinAn error occurred while saving the comment i have a netbook - and iwould love to see the raportive side bar either be collapsable or be shown - not in the side bar - but rather either on the top or bottom of the message.
this way with smaller screen sizes - i would be tempted to keep raportive around - seeing as today i decided that with a smaller screen its more important to feel comfortable with looking at my email than to have rapportive in the side bar.
this way i can now get rid of the side bar entierly and just look at my messages.

Hi David, thanks for your idea; I think that’s really interesting. We are looking to make your notes accessible from more places, and we’ll take this into account.
Best, Martin

This 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.

We 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!

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!

We 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.
An error occurred while saving the comment also, just keeping personal notes within a persons profile when we view it would be useful
An error occurred while saving the comment I would like it if when ever our mouse hovered over somebody's status update - we could see a little mini window pop up with the notes we have created for that person and quick links to instantly either a) post on their wall or b) send them a message. or C) call them via google voice.

I really like this idea (I’d use it too!). Integrating it with Google Tasks is also a pretty cool idea (would play nicely with mobile sync!).

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 :)

Good idea, I like it! I hope we can make this happen soon.
You could provide a "how long it takes somebody to respond" on average...
as well as display their phone number so we can easily click to make a call using the google voice extension that makes phone numbers into hyperlinks that google voice can read.
also people could just use it to grab their phone and dial it instead.
