In response to selection of a remote user by the local user, a display is provided of persons with whom that remote user has been communicating. Any specific communication mode of the remote user may be monitored, including instant messing, electronic mail, IP (Internet Protocol) phone, electronic meeting ("emeetings"), etc. The users with which the remote user has been communicating may be presented in various ways, such as lists of names, rows of pictures, etc. Indication of the type of, direction of, and/or initiator of the communications between the displayed users and the selected remote user may also be presented in a variety of ways, such as through modified picture formats, and/or additional visual or textual information presented in association with each person in the list.
