I want to create the ability for a User to go to a form and put a first name and email address and send an invitation via email.

When the recipient clicks on the included link and registers, the Recipient and User are now "friends."

Is there a good tutorial to get me started on this?

See this Railscast on beta invites.

thanks, yeah, I saw that, and used that before, debating whether that's exacdtly the way I want to go...it didn't seem to retain the friend "association"...

You can start with the email thing by using rails builtin mailer: ActionMailer

Here you are: ActionMailer guide.

Hi, so I installed the plugin and checked the code...it's not that clear what I need to do to get it going, have you used this?
