Is Google eating Rapportive lunch? It very much looks like it, I agree with you.

jmathai, thanks for your comment, and for using Rapportive! We think our social integration and support for Google Apps users differentiate us from the People Widget, among other things, but rest assured we're not sitting still. We've got some features coming out very soon that will give answer to this.

I never underestimate a startup. I'm sure you guys had anticipated something like this being launched anyway so it's not completely out of the blue.

Good luck!

They certainly have a lot to worry about, considering you do not have to do any installation to use the Google widgets something a normal user wants.
