Gmail Contacts Card Updater Extension

This extension updates the little card you see in Gmail when you mouse over someone's name to include extra information from you Google Contacts account. It adds in email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses. It's really simple and really useful (especially for Google Voice users).

Works pretty well but there are a few bugs left to fix:
* occasionally doesn't load the extra contact info
* doesn't look good when the contact has an employer

If there are any more bugs or suggestions, please let me know!
