Great analogy. People often forget that the internet scene(s) (much like the music scene(s)) are a reflection of the people who participate in the tribe. All tribes wax and wane: exciting, rebellious and pure in their early days, bureaucratic and suffocating in their later days -- often giving way to a new generation of tribes which cannibalizes the mindshare they once cannibalized from previous dinosaurs. It's the circle of life, and technology accelerates but ultimately doesn't alter the very human incentives of the game. Perhaps that's my own being jaded speaking, though!
