Echo is an absolutely great thing, and I am a heavy echo user, however, I am not sure it is scalable. Getting one, two or even ten notifications per day is ok, but if I start getting dozens, I am not sure I would be able to handle them for example after a day off. So that I am not sure it would survive if everybody starts using it heavily.
If notifications are batched, then I think echo would work well for this. For example, I'd love to see it giving notifications of when photos from Commons are used in the projects, along the lines of '10 of your photos were added to Wikipedia articles. Click to expand this notification/find out more.'
Thanks, Mike
