Xing Adds Mini-Feed

Business network Xing will add a Facebook-style Mini-Feed dubbed What’s new in my network on Monday the company announced today.

What’s new in my network gives XING members live updates on their start page of the latest developments within their own personal networks. Now XING members will be able to see at a glance whenever a direct contact joins a new company, gets promoted, connects to a new contact or edits their profile data.

Xing learned the Facebook lessons (the member revolts when Facebook originally introduced the feed and the current beacon fiasco) and makes this feature completely user-configurable. Users can both control which type of data they want to stream and what they want to be informed about from their network.
