I love this product. People have been talking "social email" for a long time.... But this is the first implementation that gives more than it distracts.

Wrt the new code that groks auto emails, I would love to see:

- seeing that a Twitter follow email is from Twitter doesn't do much for me. If it parsec the email and told me recent tweets from the follower? That would be awesome

- opening up this kind of support (email parsing) as plugins that could be crowd sourced would be great.

Love it.

Hey there, refresh your Gmail tab and checkout a twitter follower notification :)

We do have an API to let folks write Rapportive applications, or Raplets. Checkout raplets.com for some examples. Here's a funky video of the MailChimp one: http://blip.tv/file/3859911
