I’ve been using Rapportive for a few months now – it ties into your Gmail account and shows you info on anyone who e-mails you (including their profesison, LinkedIn profile, Facebook profile, recent tweets, etc) in place of where the ads would usually be. Great for keeping up-to-date on your contacts and getting the inside scoop on new people who contact you.

Hi Alex, thanks for posting this note about us! Over the next few months, we’re going to be releasing a number of great tools to help people network better right from their email. Stay tuned

Hi Alex and Rahul,
does Rapportive only work with Gmail? How about hotmail? Since I have most of my contacts in my hotmail account….
Thanks,
Lynn
@Lynn:
Haven’t heard of it working with Hotmail – I’m guessing Hotmail doesn’t have the accessible API that Gmail has, meaning it’s more difficult to build extensions for it. I think there’s a similar extension for Outlook though called Xobni if that helps…
