How can I store data specific to each user via webscripts?

Which way recommended?

-Using Data Dictionary or such thing to store data
#It might cause permission problem, otherwise inconsistent data format.

-Extending Person object
#Is it possible?

Thanks for any help.

Some ideas:
- Store the data in the user's home folder
- Store the data on the user's person object or an object associated with the user's person object
- Store the data via the configuration service (this is how Dashlet settings/configurations are stored, for example).

For an example of the latter, see http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2012/05/15/1599
