I've had a lot of problem with this question, myself. In that it's hard to succinctly put what I do, and living in not-SF, people don't really understand tech-web-startup-speak.

I guess in the end I've gotten around to saying some version of "I run some websites". Which, if there are followup questions usually evolves into questions about how you make money on websites. I tried variants of "web developer" and the like but then people think I design websites for other clients. I do very little programming these days so any version with "programming" doesn't seem to work. Never liked the term "blogger" and doesn't really fit what I do.

So what do you do?
I guess "manage"? some content at times, manage writers, site direction, revenue opportunities (banner ad/affiliate stuff), just finished getting an iPhone App done (I didn't code it, I hired someone) for one of the sites. ask/coordinate programmers to implement new features I want on the site. have a couple of sites in the wings that I'm working on getting off the ground.
