IMHO, its the other way around. The norm (common practice) of  
interaction--the norm of hitting "reply all" when wanting to send to a  
message to a number of disconnected individuals-- establishes the  
technology--or, more precisely the technology as it exists for us ,  
which is as a meaningful entity.
It seems to me that there are way to many recent stories of web  
applications getting used in ways quite different than what their  
inventor intended to believe in technological determinism.
