A colleague showed me how Goggles captures info from a business card. Is there any way I can fill contact info the same way from an email signature?

I think the combination of two lab features might just do the trick for you (explenation from Google):
- Undo Send: Oops, hit "Send" too soon? Stop messages from being sent for a few seconds after hitting the send button.
- Got the wrong Bob?: Doh, have you ever addressed an email too quickly, and included Bob (your boss) instead of Bob (your friend) by accident? If you're emailing more than two people at once, Gmail will check if you meant to include Bob Smith rather than Bob Jones based on the groups of people you email most often.
While Lipis' answer still works, there's another method as well.
With the message open, hover your mouse pointer over the sender's name. An info card will pop up. If the address is not already in your contacts, you can click the "Add to Contacts" button to open a contact edit form with the name and email address already filled out.
(The Add and invite button is for adding the person to your Google+ Circles.)

Sounds like you're looking for WriteThat.name:
http://writethat.name
It's a service that scans your incoming emails and adds their signature info to your Google Contacts address book automatically. (& supposedly also updates them over time). I haven't tried it, but have recently heard at least 5 people give it good reviews.
It's Google-centric, but since you're talking about Goggles, I assume that might be of interest to you.
