XING.com - Powering Relationships for the World´s Business Professionals

XING.com is a business social networking site that has recently merged with it"s Spanish-speaking counterpart, eConozco. Xing enables its members to not only add, edit and manage their business contacts, but also facilitates new professional opportunities through networking. You can market yourself in a professional context, find other contacts by searching your contacts´ directory, or let other people find you. eConozco provides a similar service to the Spanish-speaking business community, and in stead of competing, they´ve decided to team up. The now bilingual enterprise also has representation in Beijing, Zurich, and in their headquarters in Hamburg. Their target is certainly large, and made even greater with their most recent merger.

“XING makes your professional network an active part of your life. Far more than a directory of business contacts, XING enables its members to discover professional people, opportunities and privileges through its unique discovery capability and advanced contact management tools.

Will Xing allow its members to interact with those from eConozco, or will they remain separate entities under the same enterprise?
