yes rapportive is great, i use them. they have a lot of buzz but are at the mercy of Google. Google can kill them any day.
As long as they are small, google will let them be, if they become big, i think google will complain because they are removing there ads.
Google won't complain: the users are actively installing a browser plugin on their own computers by choice to remove the ads, but more importantly get a great beneficial service.
It's no different than installing noscript or adblock on Firefox.

Not a monthly subscription, but generating plenty of buzz anyway:

Maybe something more like xobni but for gmail?

I think this is very different, it is targeting one specific application, gmail. Once rapportive is installed google cant monetize there user
