Advanced profiles: Which allows you to create advanced profiles in the system.
Personal Blog: Of each user
Private messages: Between members, allowing them to communicate with each other and with other users.
Friends: You can connect them as friends and allow them to connect or not.
Groups: Groups allow users to share posts, photos, and other content.
Status Update: Appears on each user’s page so you can see how each user is doing.
