I can't believe I'm asking this, but here goes: Design Twitter - who among you considers yourself an Information Architect, versus a designer who uses information architecture as a skill?

My first andwer was “IA” because that’s my tribe, but year to year people tell me that what I do is called something else or that someone else does my job. I just keep on doing me, but if I were looking for a job, I don’t know what title I would want.

Maybe this is the same kind of growing pains loop many people find themselves in. And we bring job titles along for the ride.

I'm not sure this will result in a valid answer. IA is a far more technical discipline than generally acknowledged. A lot of designers I know misuse the term to refer to making 'site maps' (I *may have* been guilty of this once or twice too)

Not expecting valid testing or statistical significance via Twitter poll.😉

My hunch is that UXers are tasked with IA, but haven’t got anywhere near deriving a true controlled vocabulary

What leads to your hunch? Curious since I'm pretty sure you don't mean this as a blanket statement for all UX professionals.

I consider myself a professional drawer of rectangles. (Lorne Michaels voice) “Yes, it has a button, but is it the *right* button?”

Anyone who lays out content for ease of findability, understanding and decision making is an IA, no?
