Thanks for the idea. How would you rate the strength of the relationship? A star mechanism?

Yes, I'm imagining 1-5 stars with text descriptions to help ratings be consistent, similar to how software like http://mnemosyne-proj.org/features handles ratings.

Isn't it weird though to put stars on people?

Other CRM tools I've used will allow you to create groups/categories of contacts and set the recurrence to contact people in that group. You could similarly rate the group instead of individuals. Then the user could re-evaluate based on the group (friends, colleague, family, etc)

Yes, it is weird. :) It's just a fun idea I've had that requires some kind of 'friends CRM' such as the one you've developed.

You wouldn't put stars on people but on relationships... it's something you can have am effect on, so I wouldn't mind rating it !
