MyLinks
I am currently interested in using MyLinks.cgi for my site. Is it possible to, instead of writing the information to a cookie, writing to DBMan? The reason I ask, is I plan on implementing a "My Yahoo" or "My Aol" sort of thing on my site, but want it so the user can access the information from any computer, versus the computer that he initially saved the cookie on. Also, is there an SQL version of the MyLinks Script?? Have searched the forums, but can find no information on a SQL version...

It would be possible...however, not a scalable solution. I would not want to invest the effort into a writing a Mod that would end up crashing.

BTW: Amazon, Yahoo, and Snap use Vignette, which is a robust personalization engine that costs around $250,000 for one site license. In addition, the back-ends in these sites are using a combination of Oracle and Java.
