I have written my own social bookmarking app in Catalyst - it's nearly working. You can try it at http://zby.aster.net.pl/LinkM/.
I am mostly proud of the UI ideas - integration of tagging, searching and sorting making the process of search recursive. You can click on the tags, nicks, host addresses and you get the resultst filtered by them, then you can add new filters, sort by columns etc. I have lots of thoughts about the cognitive process of finding a web page from which you remember only some random pieces and I tried to create an ideal search interface.
I have not published the code yet as it is not entirely working but I can provide it to anyone that would like to build something based on it. I would love to discuss the interface ideas as well.

The thread got divided a bit in discussions regarding the social network
framework and the necessary widgets. The latter represented by InstantCRUD
and Matt's yet unpublished widget set.
I gather your interest lies in the social network framework per se. My opinion
is to focus on the design of the framework and get help from either of the
solutions above. In other words, choose the solution that suits the framework
best and help out there. No need to invent yet another approach if these fit
the bill.
I'm in the process of porting a GPLed social bookmarking thing which is currently mod_perl/cdbi over to Catalyst/DBIC. I intend to keep the catalyst portion of the code Artistic Licence, The current code is idiosyncratic enough that I think I will be implementing everything except the database schema from scratch.
I'm hoping to pop a proof of concept over to the original authors/© holders, and this group within the next month or two. I have an existing web api with which I need to retain compatibility. Mainly at the moment I need to work out how their existing (gnarly) database works and get catalyst to display the content and implement portions of the API properly.
I won't name the original codebase I'm working on in a googleable place until I've let the original authors/© holders know what I've done (i.e. when proof of concept is ready) but you're welcome to contact me privately in the mean time.
