As features are tagged for the “glue factory” in the product road map, it would be much more helpful if Salesforce.com provided more transparency, documentation and timing on the features.
iTunes Match is a new service from Apple that allows for storing and playing your iTunes music in the cloud. The match part of the service makes it easier since instead of uploading all your CD ripped music, iTunes will just match it against the 18,000,000 songs in iTunes Music Store. This feature was announced back in the summer and finally released this month to the masses so I went ahead and reviewed it to ask the big question, is it worth it?
One way I have tried to implement this “Email Stream” is to go with the principle that no email should ever have to be moved. What I did with Mail.app (for OSX Leopard/Lion) is create a bunch of smart folders that search against unread and flagged emails from all of my 7 email accounts. I basically use these as me inbox and as I read/flag/delete emails they disappear from the smart folder inbox. I wrote a blog post about that outlines how it works.

Hope this helps.
Is there an email client that treats my email as a stream/news feed?
