Typos and poor language apart, can someone please explain what a Web 2.0 Professional is? What does he do? How in the world is he supposed to have 4 to 12 years experience? And how can he give details of his Experience in Web 2.0? Not to mention, I am very curious about how Web 2.0 is relevant to a leading supplier of networking equipment and network management for the Internet.

I guess this just shows that we are at the peak of the hype.

Some where in a board room:
How do we boost sales of our NICs and routers?
What we really need is some Web 2.0 action going for us.
What is that?
Don't you know? Everyone's talking about it. It's the greatest thing to have happend!
Ok. Get HR to find a Web 2.0 Professional. Make sure he has a decent amount of experience.
