This is great to see as I've been working on a similar project to try to
visualize relationships by looking at the number of texts sent over time.

If anyone would like help generating similar analyses of their texting data,
I'd be glad to help as I have some machinery set up to do so!

Here's a prototype site I put together that takes iPhone SMS backups and
generates a graph of how many texts you've sent over time:

I would be interested in trying this out for myself. Any ideas or open source
on extracting the data from phones (specifically the iPhone?).

I think the iPhone may use a SQLite DB for messages?

backups and lost the password* like I did :(
