> LinkedIn or Xing? (12.05.2010)

I’ve recently updated my LinkedIn and Xing profiles and was wondering if there is a particular favourite amongst people as the features both seem quite similar. I currently have 75 contacts on Xing and 94 contacts on LinkedIn. Of course this may not be everyone I know and comparing it to Facebook (which is not used primarily for business purposes of course) I have 375 so there is a huge difference.

Anyway I’m just curious who uses what and why. Vote on the poll to the left or below and feel free to leave a comment!

    Hi Hugh,

    first of all congratulations to the website, havent visited in a while. Regarding Xing or LinkedIn, Xing is more German speaking and focused on Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A year ago they expended to Spain with a big marketing campaigne. LinkedIn is covering most of the English speaking countries especially the US and UK. Consequently, both should be maintained to have a full european coverage with your business profile.
    cheers,
