[thelist] Personalized "What's New"

I am currently working on a site that will include a login feature for 
posters.  I'd like to create a "What's New" area that only displays items 
they have not viewed.

My first thought was to use the visited feature, but that is specific to the 
paticular browser/computer you are using.

The only other solution I can think of is to actually write the user's id to 
each item's db row when a user views it.  This seems kind of half-assed.

I've seen other sites with this feature.  Any suggestions?

By the way, I'm using CF and Access.

TIA,
Aaron
