Xing now offers the integration of a Twitter live search

The business network Xing now offers its members the integration of the Twitter live search "Twitter Buzz". The micro-blogging service can be searched live for specific keywords using this application. Xing immediately suggests a few keywords from the profile page to members, such as company name or location. The application is still in the beta version. Members can add Twitter Buzz to their Xing profile free of charge. The application is integrated via an Open Social interface, which is also used to integrate the "Xing News" and "Ask Xing Members" applications. At the same time, Xing is opening up to third-party programs with Open Social. These will be introduced in the coming weeks.
