("Fabricant begins his article by asserting that interaction design central
to solving the major issues facing our society today") but the blog post
suffers from an unbearable lightness of being, and provides scant example of
places where interaction design and behavioral economics intersect to solve
problems and ends with an example that is all social psychology (the fact
that the virginity pledges/ring exchange campaign is a dismal failure at
achieving positive/longterm/real results - but this thing while interesting,
has no tie-in to interaction design. While I applaud a few people that are
pulling from social psych/behavioral econ to inform design and write
significant'y about it (Bryce on rep systems, Porter in his book, Adrian
Chan in Everything he writes), this blog post wasn't an informative one. No
