Xing copies Linkedin - Linkedin copies Xing
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007As you may have noticed on your Xing account, they introduced a new feature that helps better describe your past. You can now add what you were responsible for at a specific job and what kind of company it is. This is something that Linkedin has been offering since years and is no technological challenge to implement.
Xing has done a nice job adding some ajax layers to facilitate editing. The usability of Xing is great, and they’re doing everything to make it even better.
On the other hand, linkedin has finally introduced profile pictures, a feature Xing has been offering since their start.
Those small tweaks are necessary and help the main professional social networks keep up with others like facebook. While they might not like each other that much, they should maybe be more worried about facebook when they introduce their friend grouping feature.
