Love the notion. Quite recently I was forced to endure an almost 2 month long Internet fast (telco's copper cable was stolen, rural area, lackadaisical response to say the least - DM for a link if you want the story). It was quite fantastic how much more I got done in the quiet of no Twitter, no news, no Reddit, no HN,...
Oh, there were occasions I rued not having access to some of the quiet sites I follow (usually via RSS) and Wikipedia, but mostly it was upside.
But, as the author notes, it can be difficult to find "quiet" websites that meet their (rather stringent) criteria, and it set me to wondering whether there might not be space for a search-engine that only lists sites that eschew Google Fonts and Analytics, FB links, etc.
