Nice find! As interaction designers - we actually have more influence over behavior, and can at least design for desired behaviors in the user's interactions with the system - I am thinking most specifically about when Porter discusses in his book the reputation and rewards system employed by Yelp's IxD which informs, encourages, and guides certain behaviors while deminishing others. This was also done by Digg - which removed their hall of fame, and today you noticed a designers desire to provide a platform by which to engage in some level of sociality when you got pelted on facebook with snow balls and then kvetched about it on twitter :-)
