Just ask former friends, girlfriends, and my family.

Seriously, help me understand my relationships.

Show me where I'm spending my time. Who I should talk with on Monday mornings. Which modes work for which people. Who's fallen off my radar, broken a pattern. Look at who I talk to regularly, who I talk to for long times. Find my patterns.

My relationships cross communication modes. So look at

• my call and SMS mobile logs,
• my IMAP mail (like the Google Code mail-trends project),
• my Skype contact logs,
• my lifestreams on the social networks,
• my microblogs,
• my calendars.

Help me understand the people in my world by looking at the events that form my relationships with those people.

You can tell this has value in the workplace. And in romance. And in parenting. And political action. And personal time management.

Wouldn't it be great if Skype (or the next Skype) said:

"Call your mother!" and was able to tell you why?
