Best plugin to create "friends" of the system / social network for the latest Rails?

Question

I am looking for a Rails plugin that facilitates the development of a friends or social networking system for the latest versions of Ruby on Rails.

Before anyone says this ... I know, I should probably create it myself, from scratch. And I'm quite capable of it (I think). I'm just looking for a good plugin that can.) Make life a little easier for me and b) give me some ideas for reference.

I tried to create my own authentication system and did what I thought was ok, but then I switched to restful_authentication and realized how bad my system is comparing.

Thanks in advance...
