Google will roll out over the next two weeks an interface module for Gmail that displays contextual information about people involved in a message’s thread.
Called the People Widget, the new feature surfaces information on a right-hand column such as people’s place of work, title and photo from Gmail contacts, their recent Google Buzz posts and links to shared Google Calendar entries, Google Docs files and previous Gmail e-mail conversations.
“The people widget surfaces content from friends, family and colleagues that is already available to you but may be hard to find and makes it easier to connect with them,” wrote Google Software Engineer Zohair Hyder in a blog post.
