I'm looking for a simple software that lets user setting up a short profile about themselves and if possible let them connect to others (PM / follow as friend function / profile comments).

I'm not looking for a big forum like vBulletin or phpBB rather for a directory like thing where users can enter the list with their data.

Any ideas welcome! Thanks, Bob

I always say: if what you need isn't on Google, build it yourself. – Uw Concept Mar 4 '11 at 10:51
I'ld love to but I'm not that good. At least I need to start somewhere with a script to modify it to my needs. – Bob Mar 4 '11 at 16:55

I have heard that this is okay: http://script.wareseeker.com/PHP/advanced-facebook-clone-1.0.zip/30c4399093 but I have never used it and it is kind of pricey.

You didn't mention what language you are working in, but I'm guessing PHP since you mentioned phpBB.

If you are using Wordpress, then Buddypress is by far the best option out there. http://buddypress.org/

Also, if you are willing to go to a different language. This type of thing is pretty easy to write in Django, if you were to happen to know Python. Here is tutorial on User Profiles in Django: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/django-profile
