One of the things I like about HN is being exposed to ideas and projects outside of my usual circles of interest, things that don't show up in my RSS or twitter feeds. I'm pretty sure any segmentation system like that would just spit my narrow interests back at me.
I didn't find the link to be worth much, but it also took almost no time to read. It is hard for me to imagine any aggregator not having some poor content for any given reader, even if a filter was employed.

At this point, one of HN's problems is simply scale; cities are qualitatively different to villages. Reddit has sub-reddits, but that just stages things explicitly. I wondered if something more subtle could work.
