See, Rapportive fills all that empty space to the right of the email’s body with the IRL and social contact information attached to that email address.  You log in to the major social media services (facebook, twitter, linkedin…) and rapportive pulls public information from their profiles like last status updates and phone number.  It also lets you friend request or follow your contact directly in GMail as well as place calls with Google Voice.

There are also a ton of add-ons (raplets) that let you intgrate Klout, MailChimp, or a whole host of other services.

If you’re using social media and GMail, stop using Internet Explorer (it’s not supported) and download Rapportive now!

I’ve been told the Sundown is one of the finest restaurants in the area and has only gotten better under the ownership of Fred Johnson of Fred’s Southern Kitchen fame.

Come out tonight between 6:30 and 9:30 or on the weekend between 7:00 and 10:00 and make sure to tell the manager you came to hear live jazz in Central Florida.

Instead, I’ve devoted those energies to my  newest endeavor, a fine press. It’s a custom boutique for event-based stationery (announcements, invitations, thank-yous, etc.)  We’ve got our first couple projects in the works and are excited to up our marketing efforts in the next several weeks.

Please do me a favor.  Go to our website and check it out.  If you know anyone looking for custom invitations or announcements, send them this link.  I’d appreciate any help I can get in making a fine press a success.

And watch for a cool new project or two as soon as they’ve actually been mailed.

I’m making it available for presale for $16 plus $4 for shipping.  If you’d like one, you can send $20 via Paypal (specify adult small – extra large).
