The fact is real Webmasters were always a myth, like unicorns many people believed in them but I have yet to meet anyone who ever met a real one, I have met good web developers, good programmers, good web designers and good system administrators, I have been in the biz foe a long time and have never met one that was good at all 4 at least not deserving the 'Master' title. What really peeves me these days are the Guru and Ninja titles. I am seeing these pop up here and there. Should wee look at the frequency of these mythical title titles as a sign that bubble 2.0 is about to burst?

I think "webmasters" still play an important role in the industry, albeit more limited and rightly so. There will always be room in the market for the "HTML guy" because not everyone wants an all encompassing, web 2.0, collaborative community website. Very informative article and a good read.

The webmaster would have the know-how on how to program and design and now that is done by a few people. I think that the role of a webmaster five or ten years ago was a specialized role.

I've noticed this one little thing with many website developers and programmers I know: They are very talented individuals, but they all have a general complaint about "frontpagers" and hacks who throw up cheap-ass websites and stole the industry from them, but these hacks somehow get clients (I am probably no exception). At the same time, I notice this one little thing: Many of them do not even have their own website. Think of that: A web developer who has no website of his own to advertise his services. It's like the auto salesman who has to get rides to work. The accountant who recently filed bankruptcy. The cell phone salesman you have to call at home because he doesn't have a cell phone. Client: "So I hear you do websites?" Developer: "Yes, hello, I develop websites." Client: "OK great, I need one. What is your website?" Developer: "Well, I don't have my own website." Do you see the lunacy? I don't get it. Can someone explain it to me? You had some good points on there.
