the platform seems feature rich compared to twitter, however its the switching of contacts that's a pain - foaf-ish integration would b nice

One of my wishlists for Twitter, which I suppose is very Attention-y, is being able to mine my own data--- have the most common people who I talk with, bubble up to the top. I see some names over and over and know I'm not aware, remembering, or as attentive to these people as I should be... I'm trying to manage that manually... is there a way I can dig through my patterns to see where my interaction attention is? Probably a good functionality across the board.
@ericrice that functionality would be great across ALL communications services: talking, SMS, IM, tweets, media sharing/commenting, etc). gmail does a great job of this with email traffic, showing you the most frequently emailed contacts at a glance. the algorithm isn't clear, but it's better than ME doing it manually via a desktop client and database coding. I want any social network to help me rank my contacts based on how/intensely i interact with them.
There's all this talk of companies mining consumer data for advertising purposes, but if they let me at my own data with some of those same tools, I'd mine it for ME and be more likely to stick with their service over another's
