Just the other day I was looking for the “introduce two people you know to each other” button on LinkedIn. Couldn’t find it so I had to send you the email instead. I know that Xing (formerly OpenBC used mostly in Europe) has this introduction capability.

There are problems with trusted introducer, to include the fact that the reputation system must take into account that multiple people could become registered within the hierarchy using different names (or email addresses, or snail mail addresses, or cc's or whatever else goes into the verification/vetting process). PKI helps with this a little, but it also has similar attacks against it. For systems like friendster and linkedin, it's pretty useful though. I think that’s called “trusted introducer”.
