If you are curious to know the details of stranger who mailed you, probably you should try Rapportive. It comes as Firefox/Google Chrome/Safari add-on.

What does Rapportive do ?

It replaces the right side text advertisements with the details of person who mailed you. So what information will it provide ?

• A Profile Photo – It gets from Gravatar
• Present Job, Position, Employment information from LinkedIn
• SocialMedia profile urls that match the email ID
• 3 recent Twitter updates if sender has twitter account.

One can even add personal notes under these details. If you want to know how your profile details look like to other Rapportive users, click on the myprofile link from the sidebar(bottom) or just send an email to yourself and check it out.

The downside

If you created a lot of social media profiles with weird names or the information you provided is no longer truth, etc. Then, the other Rapportive users can easily get this. Sometimes this can be embarrassing.

It will be good if Rapportive allows us to edit our profile information.(#1 users requested feature for Rapportive)

Gmail: Save time with ‘Auto Advance’ to next email

After Clicking Insert Image option, It will ask whether to add an image from computer or a web URL.Just give the location of the image.Once your image is uploaded, you can resize the image and position it by dragging it across your email.Since this is a labs edition feature, it is not enabled by default, you have to manually enable it by going to Gmail labs.

Note:

To protect you from spammers, Gmail doesn’t show URL-based images in messages by default.So if you are sending mail to other Gmail users, they will still have to click “Display images below” or “Always display images from …” to see images you embed.

What it means ?

Well,you can send email in these 5 Indic languages from Gmail account. All Gmail account holders from India will have this feature turned ON by default. Other users can manually turn this feature ON from settings > Language.

This is not traditional machine language translation. Where you can translate into Hindi after writing in English.If you want to write something in Hindi make sure you know Hindi language. For example type Namaste as in English and hit spacebar – with Hindi option selected you will see नमस्ते ( Namaste written in Hindi language). Similarly, Namaskaram in Telugu and so on for other words.

Another great move by Google.Allowing to email in native language will definitely help in connecting more people.what do you say ?
