Soon everything will have a badge! I'll get a badge for emptying the trash. A badge for adding a bookmark. A badge for gaining a badge. It'll be like the boy scouts, except completely devoid of value. Seriously though, a badge for reading news? That I can share with people? And why would anyone care? Giving someone a badge for something that requires little to no skill to achieve isn't rewarding. Especially if everyone has them! It isn't something to flaunt. It doesn't even boost my ego. Not that it won't work if done in a way that causes neurosis in users. Effectively that's how modern "social" games work.
