HAMBURG, GERMANY, Jun 25, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
XNGAF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- XING (www.xing.com) -- the leading European business network -- will
today launch Twitter Buzz, a new web-based app allowing professionals
to keep up on trends and opinions on the popular microblogging
service, Twitter. The app gives over seven million XING members
access to a real-time Twitter keyword filter, and shows results
directly on the personalized XING member home page. With Twitter
Buzz, you can search for your company or scout the competition and
see what's being said about the upcoming trade fair or the latest
software releases.

Jason Goldberg, Chief Product Officer of XING AG, said, "In recent
months, we've launched a number of features with a single goal: Making
XING even more valuable for as many of our members as possible. We
listened to member feedback, and put priority on releasing exactly
those features which will add the most value to the professional
lives of our users. The new app Twitter Buzz fits this concept
exactly."

Twitter Buzz is one of the first new XING OpenSocial apps

Following in the success of XING News and Ask XING, Twitter Buzz
represents the third OpenSocial app developed by XING, currently in
beta. The new app will feature five languages from its launch, and
can be displayed on the XING home page and on a special overview
page. Due to the universal nature of the OpenSocial API, XING will be
capable of integrating third-party applications, the first of which
will go live in coming weeks.

Twitter Buzz is free of charge for all XING members, and can be added

Two months ago, XING launched its first Twitter-based add-on,
allowing members to twitter about events they were attending or
organizing. The success of this feature was substantial, and confirms
the widespread use of Twitter for business-related topics.
