Gmail+Aweber+Rapportive= Awesome!
Do you use gmail? If so, here’s something new and very cool!
Rapportive – rapportive.com – is a browser extension that works as an add on for gmail. It adds a lot of information to the new left-hand contact pane in gmail.
If you don’t know what I mean, go look in your gmail. Click on any email and when it’s opened, look at the right hand panel next to your inbox. See the contact’s info there?
If you connect Rapportive to your gmail, and log into your own social profiles, you will be able to see in that contact info how the person is connected with you and what they are doing on the web.
This could be invaluable for business, job searching, etc, as you will immediately know more about the person and be able to communicate with them more specifically, meeting more accurately both of your agendas.
What’s even more exiting is that Rapportive connects with Aweber. Don’t know what Aweber is or why that’s exiting?
Aweber is an email broadcasting and subscriber management service. For those of you who still don’t know what that is or why you would care, here’s a brief explanation:
If you have business presence on the web, you need a way to communicate with your prospects. Aweber makes it easy for you to collect your prospect email addresses and then communicate with them by email newsletters, broadcasts, special offer, etc.
There are a number of outstanding services like this on the web. All are similarly priced and have similar features. What’s outstanding about aweber is that they work on their ability for your email to get through to it’s intended recipient, by working with ISPs to make sure email from Aweber does not get marked as spam, but instead gets delivered to your subscribers email box. Because if your email does not get delivered, what’s the point of sending it?
So, back to Rapportive and gmail. Once you install Rapportive into gmail, log into your aweber account and go to apps at the top of the page. Read instructions on how to connect Rapportive to Aweber. Now if your contact is on any of your aweber lists you will see that information in your gmail contact info column as you communicate with them. You will see what list(s) they are on, what emails they have gotten from you, etc.
Awesome!
What will you do with this information? How will you use it? Let me know!

If you are a coach or another professional who uses teleseminars as a part of delivering content to your customers, you know what a hassle it is to use those free bridge lines from Mr. Conference and others like them.
If you have ever shopped at a health food store, such as Whole Foods, neighborhood health food store, or the health-food section of your supermarket, you know vitamins, homeopathics, tinctures and natural body stuff – sunscreen, soaps and lotions – are very pricey!
I am always on the lookout for new – and cheaper – business resources. I just ran across something that I must share with you immediately!
If you haven’t noticed I have been MIA for about two months now. I haven’t blogged much, haven’t twitted much, and generally have just been gone. What have I been up to? EFT!
Are you one of these people who gets a great parking space every time you want one, or who gets a phone call from a person you’ve been thinking about? Are you someone who’s good at getting the trains or busses to come just when you need one, or getting people to help you when you need help?

Health is something you are lucky to have and weight management is something you have to work hard for, right? People’s bodies inevitably show signs of age with wrinkling, sagging, loss of vision and hearing, etc. Our bodies are machines that wear out with time and sometimes break and there not much we can do about it. Disease is inevitable and all we can do is hope medicine has the cure.
