I agree. There are two (mildly related) parts to this: grid layout and using an image.
Image instead of text does not work for me. I prefer to read things. Grid layout makes curated content less clearly ranked: does your eye wander horizontally first, vertically, or some random pattern? does screen size affect this?
What could be interesting is to supply 3-5 main points from the article. Doing this automatically is, I suspect, very hard, but if done would give me significantly more information on whether to click the link, go to comments or ignore. Just my 2c.
