I wouldn't be so hasty to call it noise, or more accurately call the manually-submitted articles from those sources signal. How much coverage would you say JoS, 37s blog, seth godin get here already? I wouldn't be surprised if more than 90% of all new posts from these blogs wind up here.

That used to be true for xkcd, too, but thankfully it seems to have disappeared. Same might happen to the other blogs you mention, if quality deteriorates. For example JoS lately has been writing more about his office woes and business travels than about software engineering in his blog.
