Im looking at trying to either develop something from scratch or from something someone has already done to achieve the following result.

I want for users to have the ability to store in the site their own personal address book, that is their name, email address or telephone number of their friends.

any ideas would be fantastic.

If you are using Drupal 5, you can use the built in 'Create new content type' and create a content type and call it 'Contact'. My impression is that the CCK module will let you add fields to custom created node types of this sort, and you can add/subtract the appropriate fields to this contact node type using CCK.

In Drupal 4.7, you just jump straight to using CCK, and it creates the new node type for you.

Once you have this created, you can create a View of the Contact node types (with a filter of the current user that is NOT exposed - so that other people's contact pages are more private) so that users can click to view their 'Address book' (which is probably a good name for the view).

You should probably also find a way to mark these new nodes as 'Private' so that only the author can view them.
