The freedom to leave
by Volker Weber
Here is one feature on LinkedIn I have been missing from openBC/XING: export all your contacts to a vcard file. I have been adding new connections on LinkedIn within the last two weeks, and it is slowly turning into a very good address book.
Being able to export all my contacts into one file is something I call "freedom to leave". I feel much more comfortable with a database if I am able to download its content and take it elsewhere.
Here is my profile. Link to it if I forgot you.

Yes, I'm missing some tool to sync Xing with my Addressbook, too.
