    I have seen a thousand forums on Webmasters. I have heard that Digg users are generally the webmasters. I have even had people telling me to consult a webmaster for so and so.

    But still what i dont get is, who is a webmaster? How does one qualify for that title?

    Anybody please clarify

    Nope, some people know what it means.
    to me, a webmaster is someone who generally takes care of web sites. He does need to possess many skillsets ranging from programming to scripting to networking etc.

    that's how you define webmaster. :D

    if you run a website, or if you own a blog, or something that you manage on net similar to sites, then you can call yourself a webmaster!:)
