Robert, it really depends upon the specifics of their role. Above I mention a few examples, such as Director, Manager or Producer. The title needs to attract the right candidates and make sense internally given the role they will fulfill.

What would be a more appropriate title for a person that fulfills the responsibilites of a Webmaster?

That’s really the exception that proves the rule. The attractor to Google for job candidates is to work at Google. For other companies (such as all the rest of them!) that title will most likely be counter productive.

David, you may want to put a link to your post here:

Dennis Hwang, who does the cool doodles for Google, lists his title as webmaster. If Google doesn’t get it, will associations?

BTW, nice quote in the NYT today.

A few months ago I remarked during an ASAE virtual seminar that I thought webmasters were going the way of the dinosaur. I wish I had had time to make an erudite explanation like yours on why I felt that way.
