In the mid to late 1990s, perception had it there was no more exciting a career title than that of Webmaster. It seemed everybody wanted to be one. As a Webmaster, your code manipulation could change the look and flow of a Web site with each publish, and make Web pages spring up overnight, complete with hyperlinks, animated GIFs and comment forms with basic JavaScript. As seemingly every company needed a Web presence, the demand for somebody who could write HTML and handle Web operations filled them with incredible power. But as years passed, the title fell by the wayside,...
"In the mid to late 1990s, perception had it there was no more exciting a career title than that of Webmaster. It seemed everybody wanted to be one." Um, no. - Chris White
Louis, maybe among the general public, but not among the people I knew in valley during that time. The most exciting career was not unlike today, to be a key engineer in a startup company. - Chris White
enjoyed the career advice to hang on to teaching or marketing skills even if giving in to today's trendy title. - mcwflint
Social Media Experts are the New Webmasters - Chris Brogan
Social Media Experts are the New Webmasters - Mindy Koch
somebody was trying to get me to apply for a job with the title "webmaster" today! It was with a .wa.gov.au prison department, but we are not really that far behind here. One the other hand web 2.0 social media expert for prisons is not a job I would relish either. - Nick Cowie
Social Media Experts are the New Webmasters - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Excellent as always Louis, I really like the "What do you really do?" part. We do have to focus on what social media brings to a real business, not just on how exciting it is to constantly refresh Twitter and FriendFeed. - Svetlana Gladkova
Social Media Experts are the New Webmasters - Rob Diana
From the page: "As the Internet has changed, so too have the buzzwords. As one friend recently noted, simply having a blog isn't the differentiator it was a few years ago. Now, just about everybody has one (or more), so making you a blogger isn't anything special unto itself. But where the new frontier lies is where I see people positioning themselves - in social media." - Shey
louisgray.com: Social Media Experts are the New Webmasters - Shey
I love this post -- felt this way for a while and I'm sure others have too. No doubt you'll get some of the "Social Media Experts" giving you flack for it. "Web browsing expert" LOL! - Shey
I remember webmasters :) If the newer 'social people' could only bury that hatchet with some of the 'old guard', this whole environment would be a better place. - Charlie Anzman
It happended the same with Information Technology in the 80/90s. I guess there is a lifecycle typical of new technology roles: at first they are prominents in applying new technolgies to business. After some times the technical knowledge is not so exclusive anymore, and you start to look for more managerial approaches, roles and resumes. Finally the specific tech wisdom become a commodity. That's ok to me, just beware and avoid to be caught in the lifecycle commodity trap - Marcello Del Bono
New Blog Post: Social Media Experts are the New Webmasters http://tinyurl.com/5lc6mg - Louis Gray
agreed, good post - early days of the web - webmaster was a multi-functional jack of all things internet role: root/superuser, sysadmin, netadmin, html dev & graphic oversight all rolled into one - as teams that supported websites matured fragmentation of roles occurred for all the right reasons - webmaster at that point was usually the single point of contact into the property behind the website, especially for reporting web related bugs & for routing of inquiries - normal transitional maturity - mike "glemak" dunn
Like this a lot: a well-needed dose of reality - Iain Baker
"I'm afraid that for the most part, their efforts to rebrand as social media experts will be short-lived and futile. Saying one is an expert in utilizing social media sites is akin to brand one's self as a 'Web browsing expert', an 'e-mail expert', or a 'telephone specialist'." That's pretty funny. - Hutch Carpenter
i wouldn't go as far to say they are the new webmasters. they are much more on the marketing side than the technical - andy brudtkuhl
I don't think he was trying to compare marketing to technical -- what he discusses is that the career buzz on the Web is still here -- just that the position has changed. - Shey
Okay, yeah. That makes much more sense! - andy brudtkuhl
Expertize is an aging thing. What experts were proud of 20 years ago is done today by students with no "professional experience". Anyway, as I stated in a personal post, we still have to define the word expert. - Laurent Rozenfeld
I Agree. Webmasters had been more than "multi-functional jack of all things internet". To most people that did not know too much about filesystems, servers and the like, they were short of magicians (cf. Clarke's Third Law). But is the rise of social media that much about technology? I don't think so. It's more about pushing technology in the background. It's about getting rid of the magicians. So, just being able to set up a blog within a few minutes will very soon lose the magical aura. - benedikt
Social Media Experts are the New Webmasters - Kenichi Matsumoto
The funny thing is that I - as someone who spends a significant piece of my day managing this stuff for my firm - get forwarded job postings for "Social media manager" or other such titles for $125k +. Clearly people are landing themselves jobs in marketing/PR departments with this title. How long will their jobs last? - sarahlefton
Thank you lain - someone had to say it ;-) - Jesse Stay
@sarah Felix America! In Germany I have not yet seen job postings for Social Media Managers. - benedikt

Hide Your Fancy Car Stereo Behind a Very Crappy Car Stereo [Car Audio]So you got yourself a fancy new stereo for your car. It's all well and good while you're driving, but when you're out of the car you know damn well that it's a magnet for ne'er-do-wells who are just itching to take a crowbar to your window and forcibly remove your fancy apparatus from your dash. What to do? Simple: disguise it with a really crappy looking stereo faceplate, complete with a half a cassette sticking out. Over at Instructables they have detailed instructions on just how to do this. It works best if you have the original, crappy stereo...
