Can we have less noise? Less noise means higher possibility for the good and useful news to be exposed and read. Just a thought.

Perhaps you should start by defining what you mean by noise?

And then be Prepared for someone else to say that your noise is their useful news and your useful news is their noise:)

It would be nice if there were categories or tags for submissions. I would love it if I could filter the front page to show just "coding tips", "industry news", "startup advice" in the same way there are filters for http://news.ycombinator.com/ask or http://news.ycombinator.com/jobs

It is of course a little bit tricky to define noise, since YC news really does not define what is Signal.

The way, YC news looks for now is that it is really hard to find what I am interested in. This maybe also true for some others as well.
