Modules : Essential Drupal 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.
Check the modules used on DrupalSN and see which DrupalSN modules are available to download.

CCK / Views / imagecache / pathauto
If you want to create a blog or any content types you will no doubt need these modules at somepoint.
CCK allows you to create new node types and add all sorts of fields.
Views lets you create lists or "views" of content and imagecache is a great tool for resizing and cropping images on the fly.
pathauto is an extension of the core path module which allows your Drupal site to create clean SEO friendly URLs, this is also great for creating user URLs like user/thomjjames for user profiles.
All the content on DrupalSN is powered by these modules.

Admin Menu
Not strictly a social networking type module but it's brilliant if you are admining any Druapl site. The module creates a snapshot of your site navigation and turns it into an atrractive and convenient set of drop down menus that stick to the top of your screen.

Share / Service Links
If you've got great content on your site you want your users to be able to share and bookmark it on their favourite social networking and bookmarking sites, and this is exactly what these modules do!
