I suppose I don't like the 'wave' analogy here, because it implies there's a general lull in "Web" right now -- a pause between waves, or low tide, or some such cyclical slowdown.

In fact, despite troubles in the general economy, there's no such slowdown. The Web sector is booming -- and focusing on a few 'weary' companies and people of a certain generation isn't a general sectoral indicator, at all.

The wave is still going right now with plenty of energy, and reporting to the contrary is a disservice.
