I'm pretty sure this topic doesn't belong in the php forum.

well it is probably being done in php
how big is this SNS going to be?
be careful not to put heavy load on the mysql server.
you could probably use xml files for this.
check my post on your other post for a basic sql layout though. and add a friends column, where you can use an explode() to get all the friends usernames
