There used to be a mod that I used called Character Inventory (or something like that) that would show you the bags and bank slots of all your toons. It was really nice because you could see your own bank even when out in the field. But the Add-on that WoW Insider recently highlighted seems to go even further, and better.
It basically inventories all of your items in bags and bank, and then you can do a search for the items. Take, for example, the picture I borrowed from WoW Insider. You can type in search criteria such as "silk". It will bring up all the items that have the word "silk" in them that you have on any of your toons (once Possessions has scanned them all). Then when you mouse over the items, it tells you which alt has the item, and whether it's in their inventory or their bank.While this add-on seems like it would really help me since I can't remember what is in my bank... for people that constantly move items between toons, this would probably be a required mod. I haven't taken the time to install it yet, but I can certainly see the huge benefit that this mod will give you.
For those that want it... head on over to World of Warcraft UI / Mods to pick up this beauty.

I think this mod looks really cool, but I'm sure that it will have the same draw back that prevents me from using other mods like this. There is no support for multiple computers.
AddOns can only store their info locally, so every time I switch computers it becomes out of sync, and it takes logging in with each toon, and visiting their bank to get it back in sync, just to get out again the next day.
Good point. Hmm... maybe you should just rewrite all your limited mods to point to a central point on your server. Wouldn't help when you're out of the network, but would probably work well enough when local.
You just need a 2 piece mod. Have the in-game mod dump an export every so often in a certain location, and have a web server run a program to compile the data for you.
That way you could make a pseudo guild bank.
There's got to be a way to communicate though, otherwise how does thottbot and such work? Isn't all that via a mod?
Good ideas. Have a little app that uploads the data to my server, and runs on startup to keep everything up to date.
I'll have to look into that.
As far as communication from in-game, blizzard has pretty much sealed up the game pretty tight. There is no communication from a mod itself. All the db sites like thott, and allakhazm, get their data from people doing "uploads" after a mod has gathered the data. For example thott gets its data from cosmos.
