In my opinion XING is the better plattform in order to network and get in touch with people. Not only the navigation is much easier and more structured, it appears much more professional. Two things are there that I do not like though. 1.) You have to pay for premium accounts (Basic Accounts are good, but I don't like those pay-things) 2.) The lack of english-speaking people. I believe once the network could gain ground in the US, more and more english-speaking folks would join from which the whole network would benefit. --- http://twitter.com/stelten As a user of both networks, I think I am able to compare both networks on a fair base.
