The artifact I am analyzing is the website stumbleupon.com. The website is designed for the user to find websites that fit their interest. The user first selects what types of things they are interested in from a list and after using the site for a while, it gets to know the users interests more. You can discover artists you like, pictures, interesting facts, people, almost anything and all you have to do is click the stumble button.
Agent- the Stumbleupon site
Act- Discovering new websites and possibly new interests
Agency- Curiosity and boredom
Scene- Your computer and the internet
Purpose- To find things you are interested in and to be able to share them with friends.
