Hey Fred, thanks for your kind words.

Yes, there is a Rapportive API. It doesn't allow for Rapportive to go inside other applications, but it does allow folks to embed their own applications inside Rapportive. Would that be useful at all to you?

For example, MailChimp recently released an integration which allows Rapportive users to see how the people who email them interact with their email newsletters. Checkout http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/mailchimp-in-your-gmail-with-r... and this funky video: http://blip.tv/file/3859911

There are more of these Rapportive applications, or Raplets, at http://raplets.com

You can find the documentation at: http://groups.google.com/group/raplet-dev http://groups.google.com/group/raplet-announce




I'd second that request. It would be great if I could utilize the Rapportive engine to show all the juicy details you guys can grab on someone based on their email, within my app.


That MailChimp integration is a _great_ idea! I could _so_ easily sell some of our clients on that. (I don't suppose you've got anything in the works with Campaign Monitor on that front?)


Nothing yet on Campaign Monitor, but I've added it to my list. (If it helps, Constant Contact is in the works.)
