If you use Gmail, you may have heard of Rapportive. It’s a plugin that brings in social information into the context of an email. For example, when I’m looking at email from from my buddy Kevin, the sidebar fills in with contextual information, like so: Now I can quickly see his avatar, recent tweets, see where he’s located, job titles, get to his Facebook and LinkedIn accounts, etc. This is nice when emailing with people I know. It’s even nicer when I get emails from people I don’t know (or don’t know well), as it brings in much more contextual information. You can also hover over any email address and have the relevant info show up. Really powerful stuff. If you use Gmail, I highly recommend Rapportive. Raplets What’s even better is that they’ve opened up…
You got Dovetail in my Gmail!
