Abstract

A method is provided for promoting agenda awareness in a communication client. A system user's agenda of tasks with associated contact information is provided to the communication client. Matches are sought between the associated contact information from the agenda and a contact in a contact list in the communication client. Contacts matching the associated contact information and the tasks associated with the contact information are presented at a user interface.
