some modules to check out to improve social functionality on a drupal site:

• advanced forum: http://drupal.org/project/advanced_forum
• user relationships [an improvement on buddylist]: http://drupal.org/project/user_relationships
• openid [adds openid authentication - core in drupal 6]: http://drupal.org/project/openid
• activity [feeds of user activity]: http://drupal.org/project/activity
• views bookmark [social bookmarking]: http://drupal.org/project/views_bookmark
• notifications [emails info about posts]: http://drupal.org/project/notification
  or possibly workflow ng
• various facebook integration modules [might be useful]: cf. http://groups.drupal.org/facebook-api

no-one has used usertags: http://drupal.org/project/user_tags

question: how to get feeds from other places into profile pages?

• try feedapi as a way to pull feeds from various services -- see http://drupal.org/project/feedapi http://drupal.org/node/207892 for discussion
• cck fields in profiles? (check to see if you can get the rss to display that way)

followup:

• social networking on drupal.org: http://groups.drupal.org/social-networking-sites
• facebook api group: http://groups.drupal.org/facebook-api
