Hi Arik,
Thanks again, out of interest, what kinds of lists do you put your followers in?

The first and obvious one is the ability to sync the contacts we have on the phone with augmented data from Rapportive. That's nice, but that can be also achieved by syncing Google's contacts with Rapportive.
The second thing that this will allow you, which is the bigger win imo, is to be integrated in the Quick Contact Widget like this: http://skitch.com/arikfr/danhi/rapportive-illustration (sorry for the ugly illustration). This Quick Contact widget is being used in many apps (Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, etc) and eventually will be used everywhere on Android. This means that from everywhere, where people see contacts in Android, they can click to see the contact's rapportive profile. And the beauty is that it opens your app (actually Activity), so you can add there raplets and other goodies.
If you had an API, I probably would have built it myself ;-)

We already support this for Twitter. Next time you get a notification email that someone is following you, or has sent you a DM, check the sidebar: we show you that person’s tweets and any other information we could find about them.
Support for other networks is planned!

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…

I follow ~600-700 people, but it became unpractical to really follow them. So I have a list which is the list of the people that I actually care about and that I check more often. This is one use case for lists.
The other use case is a list of people that I recently started following. The idea of this list is to check overtime what they post and whether it's worth keep following them. But I don't do that often, because it's not convenient. I might do that if lists were more accesible (say, via Rapportive :) ).
I think that DM are far more important than lists, but if lists were accesible I might have used them more often.
