Defaulting to nothing won't happen, because too many users won't know it's a feature that exists and they can tune. That said, making it RSS driven and letting any user who cares replace it would be a good idea.

Default to a placeholder that tells them how it works or a link to a microsoft blog explaining the feature.

Why bother doing that? No one is going to read an article about a feature they don't use and imagine using it and then go out of their way to sign up. People will see something in use, say "I wish it was all NPR" and go change it.
