for other drift ... the stuff about call record analysis with regard to 
social networking has been topic in datamining conferences for at least 
a couple years ... both academia and industry. the cellphone companies 
appear to be especially interested in it, for various kinds of capacity 
planning and marketing purposes (I think some academia even have 
contracts with cell phone companies researching this area).

several months ago my wife had extensive communication with an editor 
doing some background stuff on datamining. some of it showed up in an 
article somewhat spun for the current situation
