US 2012/0260188 A1 · POTENTIAL COMMUNICATION RECIPIENT PREDICTION

Abstract

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for identifying potential recipients for a communication (e.g., email, instant message, content sharing platform, etc.) a user is presently preparing based at least in part upon a user's communication history. That is, information about the user's interactions with past recipients of his/her communications are compared with information known about the present communication and potential recipients of the present communication are identified based upon this comparison. Moreover, in one embodiment, based upon the past interactions of the user with others, one or more communication groups can be identified and presented to the user. In this way, a user may select a communication group and recipients included in the communication group can be added as recipients for the communication the user is presently preparing without the user having to manually create such groups, for example.
