You have declared postsFromFriends as an array of String, but it sounds like you want an array of dictionary:

var postsFromFriends = [[String:String]]()

Assuming from your error message that postsFromFriends is an array of Strings, then postsFromFriends[indexPath.row] returns a String, which you're then trying to subscript with ["name"]. Did you perhaps intend your postsFromFriends array to store Dictionaries, or some custom object type that has a subscriptable name field?
