Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for forming communication threads. A system configured to practice the method receives a first log of first communications in a first modality and receives a second log of second communications in a second modality. Then, the system analyzes the first log and the second log to determine relationships between the first communications and the second communications. The system identifies, based on the relationships, sets of communications having a relationship strength above a threshold, and can form communication threads based on the sets of communications. The system can form communication threads by adding a meta-data tag to a communication unit. Example modalities include short message service (SMS), text, instant messages, phone calls, video calls, emails, events, social networking, and voicemail. The system can further rank the importance of communications threads based on user actions, to yield an importance value.
