A number of well known Drupal distributions such as Commerce Kickstart, Drupal Commons and Open Atrium have already adopted the message stack and are a good place to see the versatility of these modules in action.

Lightweight module that allows admin and others to receive email notifications about new content and changes on a (usually fairly static) site. ... ... DANSE is designed to become the framework in Drupal's ecosystem to provide the only required generic approach in offering subscription and notification functionality for anything Drupal. You can use the message stack and the flag module to implement similar behavior on a Drupal project. Where as these two modules can do a lot more than a notification/log system, Entity Activity module is completely focused on this feature, and by this fact is easier to install and configure.
