Well I'd shorten to "Create Bookmark", "Create Search" and "Create
Feed". What you've written would go in the statusbar as you hover ovre
it. Sounds good.

To be honest, I'm not sure. :) mpt said this on IRC:

(1) I want to refer to static information on this page again --> add bookmark
(2) I want to read updates on this page regularly --> subscribe to feed
(3) I want to use the form on this page frequently --> add search channel

For now I'd just have "Create Bookmark" and "Create Search". It's
possible that feeds, etc would be added as extensions.
