21. A system for presenting topical information referenced during a communication, the system comprising: a communication interface for communicating with a remote endpoint via a communication network; a topic key phrase recognizer for recognizing a topic key phrase during a communication between a first party and a second party; a topic database for associating a topic descriptor with the topic key phrase; a communication information database for storing information about the communication; a descriptor management processor for identifying the topic descriptor associated with the recognized topic key phrase in the topic database, for determining a topic descriptor weight associated with the identified topic descriptor, for determining a topic descriptor presentation threshold based on a relationship between the first party and the second party retrieved from the communication information database, and for comparing the topic descriptor weight with the determined topic descriptor presentation threshold; and a user interface for presenting the topic descriptor in conjunction with the descriptor management processor based on the comparison.
