Bookmark feature in XING Beta Labs, event comments and more

Today’s release incorporates a number of changes to our platform, including a new addition to our Beta Labs – bookmarks. As the name suggests, the bookmark feature lets you bookmark interesting content such as websites, videos, events, groups and companies. By clicking on “bookmark”, a little window will open allowing you to add any notes you like. After clicking on save you can view your bookmark by going to My Network in the top navigation bar followed by My bookmarks.

If you’d like to take advantage of this feature you need to access our Beta Labs. As with all of our Beta Labs projects, the features there may change considerably during the course of their development. We are of course deploying various resources to continue developing the bookmark feature so that it can offer more options and improved usability.

We’ve now reactivated the option to add comments for people who organize and take part in XING Events! At the bottom of the events overview page you’ll find the option to add a comment and view comments posted by other people attending the event. That way you can ask any questions you may have or find the answer to a question you perhaps wanted to ask.

Have you received a message that was sent to several people? If so, when you reply the default setting is now “Reply to all” so you’ll automatically reply to everyone who initially received the email. This is intended to ensure continuity of the correspondence. You can of course choose to send your answer just to the sender. And finally there’s now a new form available in XING groups that allows you to reply to posts.

Have fun using the new features and don’t forget to leave feedback!
