Overall Satisfaction with Rapportive
Rapportive is used by individual users in my organization. I mainly appreciate how it pulls in LinkedIn profile details.
- Rapportive reminds you whether a contact is a first, second, or third-degree LinkedIn connection. This is helpful for deciding how familiar to be when emailing someone.
- As long as you're emailing a LinkedIn connection, Rapportive pulls in a large headshot from LinkedIn connection, even if you haven't emailed the contact before.
- Clicking on a particular message in a threaded conversation will show the Rapportive details for the sender of that message. Helpful for remembering who is who, especially in complicated threads where you may not be closely acquainted with all parties.
- Rapportive could show recent tweets or Facebook posts. This would provide a better picture of how this person communicates and what they're interested in.
- Pulling in content from profile websites like about.me would be really nice.
- Rapportive has generally increased efficiency in looking people up on LinkedIn.
