The author says "instead of scouring the Web for interesting stories, everything came to me!"
I believe the author is confusing the presentation of content with the filtering. The author went from using a browser, to an RSS reader, back to a browser. What remains unsolved is the problem of filtering uninteresting stories.
The real reason his new solution works is because he's manually filtered stories. But this approach doesn't scale with the number of websites that are being tracked.
What remains unsolved is an algorithm to find stories that are interesting to the author.
