In my experience, using the object model is limited to the same Farm (as
suggested by many others). The web services provided by SharePoint are
reasonably powerful, and I don't really see any reason not to make use
of them in your scenario.
However, I'll give you the best tip I've come across
You could use something like the Whats New Web Part:

I think that web part is limited to the current site collection but you
could modify it to look at other site collections?

Can you please indicate the type of workflow that you've set-up:
out-of-the-box (e.g. Three-state, Approval etc), one built via
SharePoint Designer or one built with WWF and Visual Studio?

Rather than have the 'User' as a field on your form, you can assign the
value to the 'User' field in the workflow based upon the Modified By
field when the form is submitted. This would prevent a user from
impersonating another user by entering false details on the form.
This is relatively easy
I've seen something similar done with an HTTP Module that records hits
on the DispForm.aspx for a particular type of list. The viewing
statistics are stored in a database rather than on the list itself and
then made available by a feature which adds a new Viewing History option
to the context menu

Afternoon all,
I've created an event handler to set item-level permissions on Task list
items such that only the Assigned To user or group is able to edit the
Task item. So far, so good.
Unfortunately, doing this also creates permissions for the same user or
group at a site level. Each user o

I've tried [id] but get the error: The formula contains reference(s) to

Perhaps I'm missing something but can't you create a custom field that
takes the truncated (255 characters) version of your longer field and
sort on that? I mean how many times are you going to find that the
256th character is key when sorting a series of values?
Just a thought...
