![Skydeck: View Daily Call Records to Keep Track of Your Real Socnet [Invites]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/06bWB34IsuPHB7h7wX3CiX0/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647017225.png)
In my effort to fulfill my new year's resolution for being more organized (and responsible) in 2008, I've taken to a handful of Web-based services to help me out. Skydeck is one of those services that has helped me keep my daytime minutes at bay, especially considering how often I'm on the phone speaking with companies I cover here on Mashable.
A new update to Skydeck will make its service a great deal more helpful--and there are some other updates you may find useful as well. For me, the biggest feature upgrade is the ability for Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile users to see their phone call updates every day, instead of only seeing the call log that's updated on your billing statement. This removes the lag time that Skydeck users previously had, meaning you don't have to calculate in your head when peering at your Skydeck toolbar, which gives you an at-a-glance view of your minutes and texts usage for the month.
Other feature upgrades include the ability to search your extended network, which takes the social network of Skydeck a step further into the online space. This is also a significant update, as it expands on the networking capabilities Skydeck is building into its service, showing you a very real and practical view of your action-oriented network, based on the people you're contacting on a regular basis. For Skydeck, this particular search feature works by recommending the mutual friend that best knows the person in your extended network that you'd like to meet.
To push the potential of Skydeck's networking capabilities further, a new set of APIs will hopefully encourage developers to create more useful mashups that take advantage of your call third-party call records from services like Skype and Vonage. I'm pretty excited about the new set of APIs, as the inclusion of call records other than those we consider in the traditional sense will give users a more complete view of their real social network.
