The Rapportive add-on for gmail helps connect you with your contacts on other social networks.

Rapportive Gmail Add-On

Once installed for either Chrome, Firefox, Mailplane and/or Safari (sorry IE users), Rapportive will sniff out your contacts on other networks; giving you the option to connect with them on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and more.

Additionally, once connected you can view their status updates within the Gmail interface.

I’ve been using Rapportive a few months now, and have been able to quickly connect with people on other networks without leaving Gmail. Hence, increasing connectability with clients, associates, friends and family.

Rapportive’s functionality can be expanded by use of Raplets; which deliver added functionality from sources like MailChimp and CrunchBase.

Install Rapportive for Chrome, Firefox, MailPlane and Safari

(More)…]]> A shift in search = a shift in SEO. There’s a new component to search engine optimization (SEO) that can’t be ignored – Social Media. In some form or another, Search Engines are now including content from social networks with traditional search results.

The good news is; the same traditional SEO methodology applies to socially produced content. If optimized properly, content produced on social networks like Facebook and Twitter will show in the same search results as your website or blog.

If enough people bury the story, it won’t make it to the homepage. Each story gets 10 minutes before a decision is made.

stumble StumbleUpon, now back under the control of the original owners after being ‘let-go’ by eBay, has rolled-out some significant updates. The homepage features more content, the entire site has been re-designed and a new emphasis is being put on the user’s friend network. The stories you see and submit are now heavily focused within a user’s network (verses the entire SU network). What this means is that stories you see are derived from your friend network, instead of the entire SU network. Same goes with the stories you submit. Gone are the days of instant traffic off a carefully-placed SU submission… unless you have thousands of friends.

Luckily, the SU focused friend network feature update is in beta. If you don’t like it, leave feedback. The owners have historically been very receptive to user input.
