#3The author's suggestion here to fix this problem is to have twitter offer feed cleaning tools and un-follow recommendations. Not only will this never happen, but it could create far too many false positives to even be a good thing.
I think the only way out of this is for twitter to put out 1 or a series of lenses with which to view your feed. People still want to follow all of their friends as well as celebrities, athletes, bands, news aggregators, etc; however, they don't need to see all of that crap in one feed. I think it'll be the redditization of twitter that solves this problem.

#4This is a huge problem, IMO. It only takes one or two noisy accounts to flood your feed on a regular basis. There are a handful of people I really don't want to unfollow, but they tend to dominate my feed even when they're not completely overwhelming it.
All I really want is the ability to designate certain follows as "important", which would give me their tweets in something like the format of an RSS reader at the top of the page. Then dump the rest into the current "river of news" style which I can wade through, or not.

Twitter has solved this with the "unfollow" button. I'd be annoyed if they started filtering my feed like Facebook does.

#7Is there potential for a third party app doing it (the fixes mentioned in the article) instead?

#8The second sentence of this article is false. When the lede contains blatant errors, that's your signal, as a reader, to stop reading.

Because I had to go back: "Everything you tweet shows up to every one of your followers"

It's always confused me to that I can't prioritize tweeters into 1, 2 and 3. Open up twitter after 8 hours and the tweets are sorted in priority.
