ZDNet: Rapportive – New Gmail Plugin Adds Context To E-mails

A brief report on test driving Rapportive, plus a video interview with its young makers.


“The best collaboration technologies immediately fit into the flow of your work and improve or streamline it in some way. I’ve been running Rapportive, a Firefox or Chrome plugin that displays useful contextual information next to your gMail for a month and found it extremely useful.

The English founders put up a website to showcase their technology for funding partners and quickly saw users jump on the service which is similar to Xobni, the Microsoft Outlook add on. The Rapportive team are in San Francisco talking to VC’s and a couple of them took a few minutes to discuss their product and plans with me this afternoon in the video above.”
