I am also happy that this list exists. But it is very under utilized IMHO.

One suggestion I have is to search in google with the title and 
site:news.yahoo.com . So for example, I did

Things to Watch For at CPAC site:news.yahoo.com

in google and got the "meaningful URL" http://news.yahoo.com/things-watch-
cpac-094500007.html as the first hit. After that, use the bookmarklet from  
www.google.com/bookmarks to bookmark the website with your own tags. I find 
this bookmarklet incredibly useful.

Just my 2 cents.
