Equidistribution results for orbits and more general configurations in Gamma\G are a central focus of the theory of flows on homogeneous spaces. A notable example that comes to mind is Ratner's equidistribution theorem. I will survey some old and new quantitive equidistribution results of this flavor by several authors.
