[consulting] subcontract query

[Laura Scott]

We have a little (?) job requiring coding a little widget for  
bookmarking blog posts and pulling in an abbreviated list via  
javascript. The resulting display will be a list of 3-5 of the most  
recently-tagged posts, and/or a random assortment from the last foo  
posts. This will need to be able to scale rather big.

The client asked us to pull the "bookmarked" data from a table in the  
Drupal database, but I'm afraid this would place a real burden on the  
database, as the javascript calls will be installed on dozens of  
other sites with daily cumulative traffic well into the hundreds of  
thousands in the short run, larger in the long run. This is for a  
start-up for-profit venture, so the usual free resources out there  
would not be appropriate.

If anyone is interested in taking t his on, has ideas on how to  
approach this, or knows of an existing service out there, please  
contact me off-list. We're looking for an estimate, and will most  
likely move on implementation this week.

Thanks!
