First place, please don't ever call anything a "learning object" in front of me. Not unless you're prepared to tell me what it is and how its different than any other digital object. So let's go with you just don't use it. Cool.
Second place, have you used Slide Rocket? Did you know that when you use it, when you upload a PPT presentation to Slide Rocket it strips all the images out and adds them to an Asset Library? Did I mention its automatic? Hunh. Weird. Sounds useful.
From the exfm page:
"Exfm turns the entire web into your personal music library. As you browse, exfm runs in the background indexing every MP3 file you come across, building a music library for you. exfm will continue to check the sites you've visited, adding new music for you to listen to every day.
New in Version 2.0:You can now Note songs you love and they will be publicly shared on your profile page at ex.fm/YourName. You can also connect your account to Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr to both share songs on those sites as well as pull in shared songs from people you follow on those sites. "
So tell me campers, if somebody can do this for MP3s (WHOA! what if MP3s could be LEARNING OBJECTS? No way Mark, you're just talking crazy!) then why can't we create some mystical authoring tool (some would call it a Chrome extension), where you create a personalized authoring tool environment that grabs objects as you cruise around the Web and builds you a library on the fly? What if we could hook that tool to your Diigo RSS feed so we teach the Machine as we use it? Wow that would be cool and useful. But Mark, where would the Next Button go!?
