The plug-in is fully functional and the tweaks if any would rather be to add functions like the discussed buddy-list function. There are several sites currently using it. It is also, as previously stated, is straight-forward to use this with foreign languages and/or change error messages through the admin panel.
This uses the current GLinks 3.x bookmark systems just pulling people’s bookmarks on a user specific basis and the user can define how many to display and where to display it on the page or not at all like all user specific globals.
I also thought it would be interesting to explain that a user can decide whether or not to allow the page to be publicly available or not. Furthermore, with code I provide in the plug-in help file, a link can be created on comments and articles that redirects to the user’s page. This is a nice gimmick to get people involved and motivates them to create a personal page. You can see an example of a link on a comment here
This may possibly be a better solution. I hadn't really thought of the specifics but was in effect just thinking of comma separated values in a field. I admit I often rely upon the savvy GT programmers like Virginia to advise on the best and most scalable solution which leads to first class solutions like this plug-in. It’s a good remark though since a large web site could easily clock up thousands of friends for popular people ! I’ll get back to you on the database part to give you a precise response.
