I've just added a new feature for creating freind connections around the site. A simple little thing but thought I would mention it. I've update the profile screen a bit too so its a bit more social. The message wall is also back again. To create a connection you can go into the persons profile, click connections ->request connection. Once the other person accepts it will show up on your list (in your own profile). The other person will be notified via Private Messaging when they have a request.
