I closed my LinkedIn account and moved to the German Xing. It was the only EU solution I could found that resembled the US one.

That's one thing I cross of my US dependency list.

It lost when they killed the groups. Xing had fairly active user groups with a lot of local influencers - in a positive sense, not the grifty one, people who could pull barcamps together and really fun networking events.

A lot of german people moved over to linkedin back then and interaction on xing dropped massivly.
