I’ve been playing around with Drupal setups for 3 years now and in that time I’ve worked on alot of community and social networking sites, so in this tutorials I’m going to highlight my favourite and most useful social networking modules.Things have moved along since DrupalSN went live so don’t be surprised to see me recommending modules I’m not using on DrupalSN.
