I have multisites working. Now I think want to share data. The reason I may want to share data is that I would like to market products to all the users of these sites. Note that each site has its own brand and each have unique features (different data, different modules, etc.). There are only a few things that I would like to share.
These may be either:
1) Users so that I can send everyone emails from one core site,
2) or a shop catalog that sells a common set of products.
Theoretically this sounds good but the articles I have read so far give dire warning about sharing a database or tables. I would appreciate hearing from people with experience with these issues to advise me. I may be looking at over 100 sites and 2,000 users per site, so a convenient way of marketing to this common group of people would be essential.
I could just place ads in each site to promote the shop, but that eliminates the common emailing which is an essential tool.
Any ideas?

try out using service module
try out using service module http://drupal.org/project/services this provide a flexible way of sharing the views and content across the sites. probably might even help you to get list of all the user on sites to a common site for mass mailing features. even provides a features for build application for your sites.
