It seems to work quite well, except that the word doesn't really fly much outside academia. It also doesn't apply to services very well, but if you think of services as experiences, and experiences as objects to look back on and examine, then you could perhaps use artifacts. Or maybe just 'things'. An experience can be a thing. I have more of a problem with the term 'user' still. I think people should have the right not to be labeled as 'users', hooked onto some kind of junk. I have tried using the term ‘artifact’ instead of ‘product’.
