I'm not sure I'm following his argument that lots of topic-centered inboxes are worse than one firehose. It's not uncommon for me to finish the day with many of my rooms containing unread messages, because I was only caring about 2-3 rooms centered around the priorities of that day. So that's many messages I didn't have to wade through. In contrast, email requires my attention by default. I've set up smart mailboxes to pull out more important content but there's still a joyous mix of unrelated content that's vying for my attention.
