Back then, we called ourselves "web masters" because we FELT like we were masters of the universe. A few weeks ago, I was speaking to a group where I was asked if I called myself a "web master". I laughed and responded with this: "I'm more of a web slave than master. See, I don't make the rules, I just follow them." However, webslave@mycompany.com just doesn't have the same "ring".

However I don't think you'll have a problem if you ask who is the webmaster for any given website. It's a well understood function. Just look how often you'll see an e-mail link to webmaster@companysite.com. It may not often be a job title, Adrian, although I have come across it quite a number of times.

I like the word Performance that could apply to all, I would think. So that would be either Internet Performance Manager or Web Performance Manager. Good thought, Elizabeth.

For them, I like "Internet Presence Management." "Presence Master" would be more fun - care for a super hero cape with that coffee? What about nonprofits that are not marketing anything?
