From the Friends tab of the community window (U), friends are added/removed, online/offline status is tracked and whispers are sent.
Pressing Add Friend opens the name input window. The character being added must be online; without acceptance no entry is created.
After entering the name and pressing Confirm, the other player receives an accept/deny window; on acceptance both lists update.
In the list, an online friend's icon is lit and an offline one's is off. Selecting a friend fills the chat line with the whisper format ($charactername).
