Description
XING AG (was known as openBC (Open Business Club) until November 17, 2006) is a social software platform for enabling a small-world network for professionals at every level. It is used by people from over 190 countries in a number of languages including English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Dutch, Chinese, Finnish, Swedish, Japanese, Russian, Polish, Turkish and Hungarian. By displaying how each member is connected to any other member, for example Michael Gehlert,it visualizes the small-world phenomenon.
The platform offers personal profiles, groups, discussion forums, event coordination, and other common social community features. Basic membership is free. But many core functions, like searching for people with specific qualifications or messaging people to whom one is not already connected, can only be accessed by the premium members. Premium membership comes at a monthly fee under 10 USD. The platform uses https and has a rigid privacy and no-spam policy. Unlike many other networking websites, XING provides its members very easy email access to any members.
Features
With features such as XING Marketplace, over 22,000 groups and networking events from London to Beijing, XING has developed from a contact platform to a web interface for business professionals around the world.
XING has a special Ambassador program for each city or region around the world with a substantial constituency. The Ambassadors hold localized OFFICIAL events that promote the use of social networking as a business tool, letting members introduce business ideas to one and other, and lets them get to know each other on a personal level.
Any of the XING Ambassadors can give members joining a free month of Premium Membership which allows members to network faster and more effectively.
Technology
XING also offers the system for closed communities, called Enterprise groups with their own access paths and interface designs. The platform serves as the infrastructure for corporate groups, including IBM, McKinsey, Accenture and others.
XING has a well staffed technological support department that constantly updates current technologies and serves their members with short turnarounds. With acquisitions they made in recent years they are constantly improving and expanding their network infrastructure and making new alliances with partners.
