eTacts us also YC. I believe the timeline went like this:
1. eTacts launched as an email reminder service
2. eTacts gets into YC
3. Rapportive launched as a personal CRM
4. Rapportive gets major traction, eTacts launches their own personal CRM
5. Rapportive gets into YC
So...yes, they're virtually identical right now.
eTacts also does email reminders, but Rapportive has Raplets.
I think eTacts (god that uppercase T looks hideous) always had some CRM stuff. Etacts also has tons of analytics and such, which Rapportive does not. I'm biased towards the Rapportive guys cus I know them, but I don't think its fair to say Etacts copied Rapportive much (if thats what you were saying)
