openBC is now XING
by Volker Weber
I like the redesign. Not sure the name will stick, and it will be interesting how well they will do when going public. Which is necessary if they want to expand internationally. Basic membership continues to be free. Here is your invitation.

Wow, this really takes posing to a new level! ;-)
ok - but they need to learn german: "blabla durch kommas trennen..."
tss ;)
I like the new design, lots of new features are there.
Congrats XING!
Or they just want to be bought by Google/Yahoo/another company that has too much money.
But this seems to be halfhearted if you look at the upper left corner where it's still called openBC.
Maybe they are XING openBC for a longer period and than they'll become the real XING - or they will be Goo(gle)XING at that time
Erinnert schwer an "Raider", äh "Twix".
der war aber nur 99 Pfennig oder heute 89 cent wert und keine 100mio. vollkommen unterbewertet dieser Riegel.
I like the design change as such, but in my opinion it is mostly a backstep in usability. And @marco: I was able to find only one new feature - the ability to show the contacts page as business cards - and i like it, since it brings the essentual information to the front, and also let me have more then 10 contacts on one page. (namely 12, wich is 20% improvement ;-).
But I don't get, why the "Suche" button was renamed in "Mitglieder" ("Search" was renamed to "Members" in German)
