Personally, I don't see it as unbounded diversity. Or rather, different disciplines are being applied in the context of (associating) internet research. As the Internet increasingly makes available (or even becomes) library materials, research in philosophy (which is what it all is anyway, tho phil branches), in psychology, in anthropology, etc. could be done using internet research methodologies. These would be based/developed on/in internet research associations'/ societies'/groups' theories/methodologies/approaches. This is what appears to me to be happening from this side of the computer screen. Your side also seems interesting to me :-) and I think I'm learning more about it. It's the dialectics that make it interesting imho.
