automatically access and analyze communications, wherein the communications comprise one or more of an email message, voice message, text message, social media message, social network message, and instant message;

automatically identify contact information from the communications;

automatically populate a contact database with the identified contact information; and

populate a graphical contacts user interface based on the contact database, wherein the contacts user interface comprises representations of contacts organized in a hub-and-spokes configuration, wherein the hub-and-spokes configuration comprises a representation of the user as a hub surrounded by one or more spokes and a representation of a group of one or more contacts at the end of each of the one or more spokes, wherein each group is based on a common affiliation between the one or more contacts in the group.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein one or more representations of a group comprise a plurality of representations of contacts arranged in a hierarchy associated with the common affiliation, and wherein each representation of a group and its hierarchy are configured to be modified by the user.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the content categories comprise a content category associated with a calendar application configured to:

store a plurality of roles, wherein each role is associated with one or more goals, and wherein each goal is associated with one or more tasks;

receive a selection of a task;

in response to the selection of the task, generate a calendar item based on a template associated with the task; and

populate the row or column in the timeline associated with the calendar application with a representation of the calendar item.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the calendar item comprises one or more of a date, time, one or more invitees, and content.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the selection of the role, goal, and task comprises dragging the task onto the timeline.

10. A method for providing an aggregate view of a user's plurality of social media in a timeline, the method comprising:

displaying a graphical user interface on a display screen of a device, the graphical user interface having the timeline including a plurality or rows and a plurality of columns, the timeline listing times horizontally along the top row of a x-axis of the display screen and is scalable in a specific time range based on a user input with the graphical user interface while a set of content categories represented by icons are listed vertically along the leftmost column of a y-axis of the display screen,

each content category being associated with a row and one or more columns across the timeline, wherein each content category is associated with at least one type of media and an application, and the at least one type of media is associated with applications of at least one of a calendar, communications, relationships, website history, social networking media, journals or notes, locations, photographs, or weather that aggregate at least one of notifications, messages, events, alerts, postings, location information, or visited websites;

as each content is created or consumed using the respective application, populating, on the display screen, the timeline with a selectable representation of the content in the row or column associated with the content category corresponding to the content at a point of the times on the timeline representing a time at which the content was created or consumed, the selectable representation representing a corresponding media type or respective application;

receiving, via one or more servers or cloud instances, a plurality of indications of consumed content associated with one or more types of media at a specific period of time;

populating, on the display screen, the timeline with a plurality of selectable representations of the consumed content on the graphical user interface, each selectable representation of the consumed content is placed in a row or column aligned with a respective type of media at the specific period of time of the timeline;

selecting, by the user, one of the plurality of selectable representations of the consumed content placed on the timeline of the graphical user interface; and

in response to the selection of the one of the plurality of selectable representations of the consumed content, launching the respective application in a state in which the content was created or consumed such that content is accessible to the user via the selectable representation of the content created or consumed.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising expanding or contracting the timeline in response to a user operation.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising adjusting a time period represented by the timeline in response to a user operation.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the content categories comprise a content category associated with a collaboration tool application.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the content categories comprise a content category associated with a contact sorter application, and wherein the method further comprises using the at least one hardware processor to execute the contact sorter application to:

automatically access and analyze communications, wherein the communications comprise one or more of an email message, voice message, text message, social media message, social network message, and instant message;

automatically identify contact information from the communications;

automatically populate a contact database with the identified contact information; and

populate a graphical contacts user interface based on the contact database, wherein the contacts user interface comprises representations of contacts organized in a hub-and-spokes configuration, wherein the hub-and-spokes configuration comprises a representation of the user as a hub surrounded by one or more spokes and a representation of a group of one or more contacts at the end of each of the one or more spokes, wherein each group is based on a common affiliation between the one or more contacts in the group.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein one or more representations of a group comprise a plurality of representations of contacts arranged in a hierarchy associated with the common affiliation, and wherein each representation of a group and its hierarchy are configured to be modified by the user.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the content categories comprise a content category associated with a calendar application, and wherein the method further comprises using the at least one hardware processor to execute the calendar application to:

store a plurality of roles, wherein each role is associated with one or more goals, and wherein each goal is associated with one or more tasks;

receive a selection of a task;

in response to the selection of the task, generate a calendar item based on a template associated with the task; and
