Note that it gives a graphical display of your minutes, text and then a drop down for your imported call log and address book. From the call logs and book you can then start building your social network.
Contacts can be uploaded from any of the following:
- Microsoft Outlook address book
- Mac address book
- Plaxo (with optional merge)
- Gmail
- Hotmail
- Yahoo mail
- Other mail systems that can export correctly can be manipulated it appears
Once the phone bill and contacts are in it does the number comparison for you, here comes your network. One interesting thing I liked is that you can take notes on each call for a reference. Each number gets a name, type of number, person tag and even tag topic for the call itself. You can then search all calls for certain tags.
One interesting hidden feature was the ability to click and have Google search the phone number in your bill to see if it matches anything publicly known. There are also some built in searches that can be removed for expensive calls, the monthly bill date as a name (ie June) and incoming texts.
Once you are past this part you can jump over to their social network:
You've seen how Skydeck re-organizes your Address Book: people that you know best rank first.
The Skydeck Network works the same way. Accept as many Connections as you want to, but the people that you know best stay at the top of your list and you see the Connections that they know best.
The bars next to each name show how strong we think each connection is, based on the history of your communications.
I would love to see how this will interact with other social networking systems, but this is still early in the beta. More late, but I like the ability to start bringing together those I talk to on the phone into networks I use online.

Yes this is a blatant theft of the outline that Jess uses on her page, but I asked permission. Why?? Because I am a hardcore admin and can make ugly tables to make you developers frustrated, but this was too nice to pass up.

One dog, a Pug. He has been on this world before and seems to understand slippers and a fine cigar. Mind you that is him in the chair and not me.
Let us now also add a deranged cat that is in the process of being toilet trained. Update: Toilet traning was very very close.
Music:
Non-stop. At my desk, in my car, walking to work and back to my car downtown. In the house there is a crazy zoned set-up for you home automation geeks.
I am a self-proclaimed MP3 fiend, to which I have tried rehab 4 billion times to no avail. Next is the MP3 hard-drive for the car that I found. Now what kind of music you ask? I will never tell.

Character Bio:
This will take far more time than I have today. I will start with I was born and still live in St. Louis, MO. Even though for a couple years I was never, ever here and always on the road, this is smack in the middle of the US. Everything is just a few hour flight. That part is nice. No beach/ocean/coast isn't the best. But with the travel I make up for it.
Looking to find me in person? Here is where I will be.
