DE: Xing Reaches 2 Million Users

Xing, the German-based social networking platform, has reached 2 million users.

Xing has attributed their milestone to growth in an International market. With their recent acquisition of eConozco, the Spanish-based social networking site for business professionals, Xing’s global reach is expanding. A steady growth rate has been seen across the board for Xing’s online properties, and they aim to connect the US and Europe to create a very global business network.

Xing also plans to launch several new features including an API, which began its closed test phase in March. The release of their Marketplace will occur in the coming months. Xing is also looking to add an improved search feature, an Address Book 2.0, as well as optimized member profiles this year as well. With the growing global market, a professional network such as Xing may be placing themselves in an ideal position to take business networking to the next level.
