Maybe.

But if we look at the historical significance of the Internet, it was built by and has been largely dominated by introverts. The Internet has always kind of been the one place we can all "find each other" to have interesting, stimulating conversation while the rest of the world gabs about trivial things.

However, Facebook, Twitter (to some extent), et. al, have really brought extroverts in full-force to the Internet, and to some extent they are encroaching on our "space." The hype has definitely clogged up the noise-to-signal ratio, and weeding through all of the extraneous fluff can be tiresome.

So maybe it's not that introverts are exactly "critical," of the new narcissistic "lookie at me! lookie at magazine cover!" vibe the Internet has taken on, but that it subtracts substantially from what makes the Internet interesting.

I couldn't agree more with your last paragraph. :)
