摘要

A method, system and apparatus for utilizing statistics in a human-to-human collaborative tool. A method for utilizing group statistics for a group participating in a collaborative session can include collecting group statistics for a grouped set of participants designated to participate in a collaborative session and rendering the group statistics in a user interface in association with a hierarchical listing of participants in the collaborative session. The group statistics can include, for example, a distribution of status data for the participants in the group, a distribution of time zones for the participants in the group, and a distribution of geographical locations for the participants in the group.
