Techniques for identifying potential communication uses of various systems are disclosed. Identifying potential communication uses of a computing system can improve the manner in which the computing system is used by allowing more intelligent decisions and better choices to be made regarding its communication use. By way of example, communication applications (or tasks or services) that are likely (or more likely) to be used by a person in a particular situation can be identified as potential communication use of a particular device. Such potential uses can, for example, be made more assessable (or more readily available) and/or effectively recommended (or automatically initiated), thereby allowing a person to more conveniently use the device. By way of example, identifying communication applications or tasks that are likely to be used by a person in a particular situation for various reasons (e.g., preferences and/or habits of a person in a particular situation) as potential communication use of a system (e.g., computing and/or communication device) allows making the communications applications, tasks, or services more assessable and/or effectively recommending them for use in a particular situation.
