The difference between sitemaps and site indexes...

Boxes and Arrows has an article about sitemaps, site indexes, what they are, and why you should use them...

There is a school of thought though, that believes that if a site needs a sitemap for navigating around it, there is something wrong with the navigation, and maybe the sitemap should be made the homepage...

Can the same logic be used for large sites?

Personally I do not provide a sitemap link anywhere on sites I design. But the 404 page (page not found error) itself can be a sitemap. So users see the sitemap only if they are not able to find what they are looking for, otherwise the navigation should take care of the rest...

You can check this implementation on the latest Digité site...
