I don't really have anything to add here except to echo Francis, both on
StackOverflow and FourSquare, in my case.

Its surprising how effective this kind of thing can be. The enormously
varied number of badges on the stackoverflow/stackexchange system
somehow inspires me to try to do more. Incentives can be as simple as
that.

Key points include the fact that one starts earning badges easily at
the start and there are plenty which can be earned by making a little
effort.

Stackexchange has started making them more cross-project (they
obviously started as just stackoverflow of course). A generic "civics
exchange" badges system, either across MS sites, or across MS and
associated sites would almost certainly pull in more people from one
site to another and might well encourage people to do more.
