Add interest keywords to feed accounts

Title:
Add interest keywords to feed accounts

Area:
feeds

Summary:
It's been suggested to make feeds searchable, which is a very good idea. However, I'd also like to be able to use interests to search for them because I think it would be more helpful when you want to find feeds pertaining to a certain topic.

Edit: see this comment for an alternative suggestion which doesn't use interest keywords.

Description:
I have no idea how many feed accounts they are on the site or how many are created per day so, to be honest, I don't know if this is a nice idea or a crazy one and how to implement it. Ideas and discussions are really welcome.

First, who would be able to add interests? Any user? A dedicated team of volunteers? Should users only be able to add interests from a pre-approved list? Could new ones be suggested? How?

Should the interests remain general (e.g. news, comics, music, science, technology, food,...) to be more manageable or would that would make the feature less useful/too restrictive?

What about personal blogs? I can see the potential for drama there. OTOH, it'd be like letting people assign interests to one's profile. OTOH, Neil Gaiman's blog is the feed with the greatest number of subscribers on DW so if we leave these out how useful is the feature?

Anything else?

Minor issue: add more "save" buttons for Manage Circle page

Title:
Minor issue: add more "save" buttons for Manage Circle page

Area:
Circle management

Summary:
Add more "save" buttons on the Manage Circle page: mainly, under the People and Communities tables.

Description:
At the moment if you want to save changes you have to hunt for the button. It's neither at the end of the table, nor centered, nor at the very end of the page (that's the "add relationship" save).

This is a small thing, but it would be nice to have the button at the end of each of the tables (People, Communities, and Feeds), so it would make sense as to what the button was saving. As well, if you have a large circle, it is hard to find the button.
