Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for tag cloud buddy lists. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for tag cloud buddy list management can be provided. The method can include loading a list of contacts in a messaging system executing in memory by a processor of a computer, rating each of the contacts in the list according to at least one criteria, and visually emphasizing each of the contacts differently in a buddy cloud for a user interface to the messaging system according to different ratings applied to each of the contacts. Optionally, contacts with ratings failing to exceed a threshold value can be filtered from the buddy cloud. In this regard, the threshold value can be selected with a slider control displayed in the messaging system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to touch interfaces and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for generating touch interface displays. In one embodiment of the invention, a computer-implemented method for generating touch interface displays at a communication device with a touch interface includes initiating a set of calibration exercises, providing a set of instructions to a user of the communication device, receiving calibration data at the touch interface, analyzing the received calibration data to determine if the calibration is complete, repeating said providing and receiving steps until the calibration is complete and generating a touch interface display based on the received calibration data.
