A user interface (UI), which reflects exchanges in the past and the future
between a user and entities. The UI includes a background having a user
defined granularity, a plurality of dots, which can represent at least
one collaborative exchange of a user and which are each arranged on the
background, a graphic connection between any two or more dots which each
represent exchanges between the user and similar entities, a first
graphic which includes first level information, and a second graphic
which includes second level information. For any set of one or more dots
which each represent exchanges between the user and similar entities, the
dot closest to or within the central area includes a graphical identifier
that indicates whether the entity is currently available for a new
exchange.
