I don't think think the hunt is gone on the internet. I can now dig through more free resources than ever before. I can hunting interesting blogs, webzines, and artists who I've never heard before through the power of social networking.
For instance, my love of modern alt-country brought me to the No Depression webzine, which gave me a sense of history, which has allowed me to dig around the local record store for important works in the genre, which has led me to The Rising Storm, a music critic/aficianado's blog on 60's/70's americana, country, country-rock, folk, and psychedelia. I now have more access to the underground music of the past than ever before.
The hunt isn't gone. The tools have changed. The tactile sensations are different. But it's the same story.
