webmonkey <World-Wide Web> a largely unskilled {Web} worker - one with a passable understanding of {HTML} but little else. It is often supposed that, in the New Media food chain, there is nothing lower than a webmonkey. Alas, there is: people who barely have the skills to use FrontPage; these people are called "typists". The {B1FF} of webmonkeys is personified as {Bobo the Webmonkey}. Compare {actor/singer/waiter/webmaster}. And compare {sysape}, {one-banana problem}, {scratch monkey}, {monkey up}, and {Infinite-Monkey Theorem} for other simian allusions. (1998-04-04)
