1. A method, comprising:
- receiving communications from senders to a user;
creating, by a computer, profiles for the senders;
in response to receiving each of the communications, extracting, by the computer, a link from the communication;
adding each extracted link to the profile for the sender of the communication from which the link is extracted; and
after adding the extracted links to the profiles for the senders, causing display to the user of the extracted links, wherein each extracted link is displayed with at least a portion of content from the communication from which the link is extracted.
