I remember the discussions around Visio and best practice with great 
fondness :)

It is a little like any other "best practice" I suppose - we've all 
seen the jobs that read a bit like this: "Wanted, Information 
Architect, must be proficient in Photoshop, DreamWeaver, and AJAX". It 
all gets back to the question of what an IA is. According to 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Information_architecture: "There's 
not much to information architecture once you get past all the 
promotion. It's much more just the use of the granfalloon technique 
than it is a profession".

I am not sure if I an a granfalloonist or a granfalloonian. If anyone 
knows the answer, please let me know :)

Cheers, Andrew
