This sounds good.  Another idea: 'Add to News Sites' context menu item in 
View as Web Page - user right-clicks on news-feed link and selects 'Add to 
News Sites', Nautilus automagically adds to local list.

Regarding nautilus.themes.org suggestion in previous post - I think this 
will be very helpful.  Themes, rss feeds, etc. would be ideal content for 
such a site.
