SIGIA-L: Website Architect

I don't know how many of you have ever used Wetfeet.com, but browsing
around I found yet another job category that somewhat matches the
general definition of IA, whatever that is. Of course they don't have IA
as a job category. They call it "Website Architect".
Website Architect
"While UI designers are responsible for how information at a website is
presented, website architects are responsible for what gets presented.
Being a website architect is a high-level position that requires
multidisciplinary skill sets, including business analysis and
human-factors analysis. Website architects need to understand human
nature and how it pertains to the Web environment. They are tasked with
helping a company meet its business goals through better Web design. A
BS or MS is usually required, as well as experience in UI and Web
design. In some cases a degree in psychology is desired."
Anyway, this may help some people give some sort of meaning (and
backing) to what they do.
You can find it here...
