I think often there is more drama about it than necessary.
You can't have 100% innovation all the time. Sometimes you have to refine an idea for a while. Friendster, MySpace, etc existed before Facebook. Heck, you maybe even could make the case that the Well belongs in that list.
Additionally, I hear a lot of Internet gasps at things like Facebook's stories implementation, but far less about, say, Snow which as far as I know is entirely a copy of Snapchat. So the drama seems selective in the sense that folks try to make rivalries out of it to pump up the drama.
