1) I am just curious as to what to look for whan hiring a good drupal developer for a social networking system. I need a site with blogs, forums, photo albums, buddy list, groups. Similar to facebook but witout the classifieds, busic, or videos. The site will focus a smaller niche. What typem of charges should I expect?
2) Can any one recommend any good developers?

Look for references
The only thing you can judge is by looking at previous examples of sites, references and one of the most crucial aspects which the majority over look - make sure the developer actually understands what social networking is all about and what the project entails.
Also do some research yourself as Drupal may not be the right framework for your particular needs - maybe due to its complexity, steep learning curve or simple down to the fact that there are commercial scripts designed for just that. Google phpFox for more information.
In terms of rates, this will depend on your location and the developer's location - both are related to currency.

AroundME
Google for "AroundMe". I once passed across this project, aimed to be a php-based free software social networking. It was not bad... you'd just need to migrate to drupal :-p
