Data from social networking applications and other applications that can be used to communicate are combined for a user to generate a graph of the various relationships that the user has with other users in the social networking applications and other applications. In addition, the behaviors of each user with respect to communicating through the various social networking applications and other applications are monitored to generate task data that describes user preferences for communicating using each social networking application or other application for different tasks. At a later time, when a user is looking to connect with another user for an indicated task such as networking, the graph can be used to recommend paths to other users in the various social networking applications and other applications, and the generated task data can be used to rank the recommended paths based on the indicated task.
