WiseStamp: Make your signature stand out

There are limitations to what you can do with your email signature. With WiseStamp, you can create a custom signature: Add details from your visiting card, plus your social profiles (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), a photograph and many extras.

Extras include buttons or widgets with your latest tweet or a random quote. You will need to create an account and download the free add-on (Firefox and Chrome). Once you do that, the signature will automatically be added to every mail -¬ all the features you added.

The free version puts branding under the signature -¬ 'Free email signature by WiseStamp' ¬- and a link. If you want to remove that, it's $4 per month (though at the time of writing, there's a special offer of $2 per month).

Rapportive: Get more info about your contacts

Not everyone uses a detailed signature. Rapportive is a free add-on for Firefox and Chrome that gets information like a photograph, alternate email, Twitter ID and so on (basically whatever information they add to their public LinkedIn profile) -¬ and it adds this information in a box where the ads normally appear.

That's a double advantage: The ads are removed and you get useful information right alongside the email.
