Best Resources for Rails Social Networking Friendship

Question

What do you all think are the best resources for adding a "friendship" system to your rails social networking sites? The main three I have found:

Self-Referential Associations - Railscast
acts_as_network
has_many_friends

However i find that the railscast one tends to be a bit simplistic, and a lack of implementation documentation for the other two. Can anyone recommend any other plugins or tutorials that might help with the development of this aspect of my social network?

Thanks!

If you're using restful authentication I would highly recommend this tutorial. It's not the most elegant fleshed out solution, but it will get you on the right path. I was able to copy the code almost verbatim into an app and it works great.
