I think that also the stuff in my other post on source orientation is related to this. Do I view Facebook News Feed as transparent and mechanical -- like a TV? Then maybe we don't both taking the intentional stance because we know how it works, and we don't treat it as much as a source because we know it is some third-party application and a friend that have created what is being shown to start with. But I don't think this is always the case. Consider Facebook Events. Even though all the content is originally authored by someone, because it is structured Facebook is able to aggregate and rearrange it in various ways that might best be explained using the intentional stance. For example, it will show in my feed that Enrique, Bill, Alex, and Rahul are attending some event. And it will say that the event is tomorrow (but of course the Event author didn't write that).

If you saw a video icon that represented what I was doing right now, would you think "Facebook believes that Enrique is doing something related to video"?
