We strongly recommend that you not pass along your XING login data to any other application on other social networks. At present, XING has not yet granted authorization for any application programmed by a third party to request your login data. For your own security, we blocked a XING-sync application which appeared on facebook last night. If you happened to try out the application (i.e., if you typed in your login data), we recommend you change your password immediately.
We do our best to ensure your security on XING, and ask you to do so as well. It´s an honor that you trust our brand with your private data, and that as a result you´re probably more likely to fill in information where the XING brand appears. Please contact us, however, if you see an application and you´re not sure if it is an official and approved XING application.
For those of you who are interested in doing even more in your XING experience, we are currently working on developing an API for the site. In the near future, everyone who wants to use this API to write an application for XING will have to contact us, and will most likely be granted permission. This way we can keep track which members are using this interface, and continue to make sure that your credentials remain secure.

http://www.fellowweb.de/ offers to import the own profile from Xing as well.
Well, you’ve been anouncing this API for almost a year now, how exactly do you define near future???
We announced in March 2007 that we´re working on an API – that´s five (5) months until today.
I can have a decent discussion with you, if you say who you are.
fellowweb derzeit ohne XING-Import
Wie fellowweb am 17. August in einer Pressemitteilung erklrt, knnen derzeit keine Profildaten von XING importiert werden. fellowweb wollte es seinen Nutzern mit diesem Feature vereinfachen professionelle Profile aus XING in den neuen Interne
OK, so all these awards and corporate culture (security, universities, marketing jargon etc.) are great, but I still have a funny question:
Is it pronounced “Cross-ing” or is it Zhing – like Berliner Xantipe?
How contradictory is that?
Xing mentions “3.9. News: A word about security” but offers the “Address book comparison” now itself, where the user has to enter his email password (Gmail, yahoo, etc.) on the Xing platform?
Why should somebody do that?
What’s the difference to entering the Xing login data on other sites than as well?
@question about, it really depends on where you live. Like skype we decided to let our members chose how they want to pronounce XING.
In Germany we´re saying [Ksing], in China it´s [Tchsching] in America or UK we use [Zsing] or [Crossing] in a conversation – but we never say [Ixing].
@Mathias, first of all, Gmail is an E-mail provider and not a social network.
And second, if you´re using Gmail on XING we ensure the following before you enter your E-mail address:
“XING data protection policy: Your GoogleMail email address and password will not be saved.”
