Every time I'm asked to connect a service to Rapportive I'm extremely impressed by how slick, complete, wholesome and reliable the experience is. I know it's not rocket science, but it is hard to make this simple interaction work with zero drama as a plug-in for many different types of users with different browsers. Well done guys!
Rapportive is one great tool that's iterating pretty quickly! Looks like someone is putting the VC/angel money to great use. It's the one reason that I don't use Sparrow instead of GMail.<p>However, the main question again: how will they earn money?
I am so proud to be an angel investor in Rapportive... and that they presented at Open Angel Forum.<p>These guys are relentless and I predict they will a huge, huge success in the coming years.<p>Rapportive is a HUGE part of my daily activity online.
I just tried it. It sounded like a very neat idea.<p>But it didn't really worked. It wasn't able to connect a single contact with its Facebook profile. In one case I checked more details: It seems that he used another mail address in Facebook than I got from him via GMail. So in GMail, I added this other mail adress to the contact in hope that Rapportive could now connect it. But it still couldn't -- it only seemed to check the mail address of the mail but not the other possible addresses of this contact.<p>What I always missed was some way to manually connect it (in a way of course that it would remind/save that).
A way to manage FB from my chosen interface -- another stellar idea from Rapportive. But before pushing the button I would like to know, if, as with most things FB,there is a compromise of my privacy for the convenience? Indicating the level to which FB and Gmail will share my contacts would be helpful to have in the introductory information.It sounds like they will be matched together?<p>I want to be very selective. Ideally all the client FB accounts I manage could be tabbed through via Rapportive without any chance of the contacts getting comingled.<p>Would be happy to pay for such business conveniences in a freemium model.
Amazing, Rapportive has made an alliance between FB and Google. Before I try it out, I would like to know how accessible my Gmail contacts become to FB, because Gmail has a different set of contacts than my FB account.
Any plans to be able to post to FB pages? I wish Rapportive was on Kickstarter, where I can afford to be an angel :)
