I need to create functionality to save user specific data like bookmark, favorites etc.

I want to know about the best approach I can take to save the user specific data so that logged in user can see their settings like we can use Property Bags to store site/web specific data.

Steve, do I need to transfer this question to SharePoint.stackexchange.com ? – ashish.chotalia Sep 18 '12 at 9:49
@ashish.chotalia we will vote close this one and you re-post it on sharepoint, on another note im not too sure you will need any custom code/state bag at all for what youre after, it just sounds like a list to me – Luke McGregor Sep 18 '12 at 9:50

You could save these settings to a database if that is an option and you have the resources.

An easier way could be just to save the data to xml files, one for each user. I have done this before.

You can create a user profile property and store the information in the field.

Here's a couple articles on how to interact with user profile service and properties...
