2007 Was Not the Year of the Addressbook

Last year I wrote a SxSW Twitter killbot, but what I really wanted was the above. I almost wrote it, but there were one of two annoying problems, and I figured someone else would write it for me.
Its one year later, I’m starting to realize that I’m about to go into conference mode again, which on top of a sleep deprived delirium, and a certain disconnect form external data sources, also is the only time when I have Twits come to my phone. And I still can’t do the above! What have you people been working on all year! Don’t make me come back there and start a start up.
Other questions I’ve asked my addressbook lately, and failed to get a response:
Please partition my social graph into a Dijkstra Nikon/Canon split.
Does Bob like cilantro? And is Alice lactose intolerant?
Do any friends.known_vegetarians.have_yelp_reviews(Austin)
?
Lots of others, all unanswered.
