Like LinkedIn, Xing is a professional social network. However, Xing is German based and so has a strong German-language user base, with 8 million of its 14 million users speaking the language. On Xing you can see how people are connected to each other, or you can post information about your career and enter personal details on your profile. It offers a basic membership for free, but it does offer a premium membership which generally has more information such as detailed statistics, advanced search, or a more prominent placement in member searches.Â
