The filter is aggregators like HN or Metafilter or Reddit, which all have their own flavor and quality. They work fine; you just have to go find ones you prefer, which is unavoidable, since everyone has their own unique definition of "what's really important" or "what you shouldn't miss." I don't really understand why the guy in the article has BoingBoing and Gizmodo in his feeds if he doesn't like the quality and quantity of the articles they produce. Why would you read a site where only (in his words) "ten or fifteen" out of 400 posts are ones you really care about?
