I found the help for using watch list very unclear - not least because the icon is not illustrated in the help and the pale grey icon is difficult to notice unless you know what it looks like.

Also, suggest 'watch list' is a bit Orwellian - perhaps a different term would be preferable, though I can't think of one off hand!

Perhaps '(content) alerts' would be a better title?

The watch list could be dramatically improved through the addition of an opt-in/opt-out feature, meaning a user can decide to automatically watch objects to which he or she contributes, edits or connects with.

Suggestions?
