I was thinking about a hack that would be awesome, so please take a moment to read this post :)

The hack would be kinda of a My Favorites hack it would allow members to have their own favorites bookmarked on possibly their profile.

It would work kinda like the subscribe to a thread function, and you could have links on your site that by a single click could be added to your personal favorites.

And example of a script that kinda does that is this:

I don't know how hard would be to do this, but it would sure be nice!

Ok you know when you subscribe to a thread? Well it sends you an email when someone repleis to that thread and it displays all subscribed threads on your profile right?
Well this wouldn't send you any emails, and it wouldn't work with threads, but with links.
Say you have a site with several links and you would like to give your members an option to bookmark a link or resource, so when they log on again they will have a colection of the links/resources they selected on their profile, or some place else that only that member could access

If you notice the Add to My FK button will only work if you are registered (no wonder they have 130000 members :p)
