Mark Oehlert takes a look at this Chrome extension, called ef.fm, and asks, why can't we build these for learning resources? "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." Well it's a bit trickier than just finding and saving MP3s, but it's not that much more difficult. Why can't our tools build audio, image and other libraries for us? Don't want your resource used in this way? Just tag your page with a 'no-use' or 'I-hoard-content' tag and the extractor can pass it by. Now I wish I were using Chrome again; I'm sure I encounter a week's worth of MP3 content in a day's browsing.
