The other day I was inadvertently referred to as a webmaster. It was via an email from one of the affiliates we use for our web sites, so it wasn’t on purpose or meant to offend. However, I can’t stand that name and honestly, I don’t know what it means. It really sounds to me like somebody that just baby sits web sites and makes some content changes from time to time. My degree is in Computer Science. By trade, I’m a Software Engineer. I just happen to work on web applications now and manage a couple of e-commerce web sites (not to mention all the other IT tasks in the office). Does that make me a so called webmaster (or like I coined the other day, web site weenie)? I don’t think so. It’s high time we deprecate this title and use something that fits the new “Web 2.0” days we live in, i.e. Web Developer, Web Applications Developer, etc. etc.
