Abstract

Personalizing communications for a first communication platform (602a) includes accessing status information for communication sessions by a communication identity that leverage a first communication platform (602a) other than an instant messaging platform. A participant list associated with the communication identity and the first communication platform is passively configured (642) to persistently reflect a list of participant identities from communication sessions in which the communication identity recently participated using the communication platform. Personalizing communications also includes accessing status (640) information for instant messaging sessions involving an instant messaging identity and passively configuring a buddy group (642) associated with the instant messaging identity to persistently reflect a list of participant identities from instant messaging sessions in which the instant messaging identity recently participated.
