Users can create & manage lists of friends, complete with private messaging, status updates, comment walls, groups & referrals.

THIS ADDON HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED

The Friends module takes you a step further towards Social Networking for your website. It allows your users to create and manage lists of friends just like Facebook. Aside from the typical friend request/confirm method, some alternate usages might be to follow other members, only allow ‘friends’ to view your full profile, ‘bookmark’ your favorite authors and subscribe to their channel entries, etc.

Along with Facebook-esque friends functionality, Friends includes complete private messaging (which works off of native EE private messaging), status updates, comment walls, ‘hugging’ website invites and referral tracking system, and virtual groups where users can create and join groups. In combination with the User addon, the possibilities are endless.

Finally, a better way to make friends.

Pros: Friends makes it easy(ish) to get the bare bones of a social network up and running within EE.

Cons: You will not be able to replicate all of facebook… but how can you expect that for $99?  IMHO You really shouldn’t be building a social network larger than 100 people on EE.

This add-on does give quite a bit of functionality, but there are areas where you are left hanging. Comments or the wall functionality, for example, does not respect formatting. This might not be so odd but there are other areas where that ability is there. So the inconsistencies drive you mad.

This is a powerful Add-On for EE. It allows you to create relationships between users which can come in very handy. The only downside is that is lacks some of the features that could be built in by using regular channels (like commenting). But despite some shortcomings, it’s a powerful add-on.

Without a doubt, the most powerful social networking add-on for ExpressionEngine. Complete with code templates showcasing all functionality, it’s an invaluable addition for anyone running a socnet site through EE :)
