This is a great mu plugin for when you want a really powerful , yet straightforward, friends system without turning your site into an enormous social network.

Essentially our friends plugin allows your users to 'friend' each other, display funky widgets with avatar mosaics of all their friends on the site and generally get all social and hooked up with each other.

This plugin is designed to be used with:

  1. The Messaging plugin...this provides the ability to easily send, receive and read your friend's emails from inside your blog dashboard.
  2. The Avatars plugin ...provides your friend's avatars

It also complements the Community plugin. 

It's incredibly simple -- just drop this plugin, the Avatars plugin, and the Messaging plugin into the specified folders and then your users can connect with each user via their new 'Friends' tab and receive emails via their new 'Inbox' Tab.

Using our friends plugins you can:

  1. Search for and add friends using Friends > Find Friends

  2. Receive email updates when someones adds you as a friend

  3. Remove friends using your Friends tab
  4. Add a friends widget to your sidebar using Appearance > Widgets

  5. To display your friends on a funky sidebar widget (which, naturally, also allows you to add a user as a friend just by clicking on a button!)

  6. You can view and message your existing friends using your Friends tab

  7. And reply to messages from friends

We know you're gonna love it....Enjoy!
