Xing buys Neurona: is it good or bad for Italian market?
Few hours ago today I was writing an article about that Viadeo Italia and Neurona Italia are the friends of Milan-IN through their Country Leaders, and we're waiting for Xing to come to Italy. ...Taking into account that we know quite for sure that LinkedIn is not gonna be here soon...
... and only few hours later Internet is full of rumours, doubts, thoughts, it's all about that- OPEN Business Club AG (Xing) acquires Neurona, the Spanish market leader for online business networking
WoW, such a crazy world. And it's becoming always much interesting.
I was asking today- where's Xing, where is Xing? and now I should probably ask- where Neurona will go? :)
Why we're so much interested? It's just because it's very important for Milan-IN, the META Network for Off-line (real life) Networking, to know if here will be Xing in Italy or it will be presented directly through Neurona.it.
I was chatting today the whole day long (well, periodically :lol:) on Skype with my friends Silvia and Andrea, both really affected about this happening... and it seems that both of them are very happy about that happened: for Andrea/Viadeo there will be a great motivation to work harder and better :), and for Silvia/Neurona.it it's the next move, the new Team, the new objectives and for sure the new achievements!
At the end I'll mention that I was recently writing about the previous acquisition of Xing, that time it was Conozco (A strong movement in the sector: Xing acquires Spanish Social Network eConozco) and here is the article commented btw by Silvia very well, and also by Laura from Dada.net.
Well, we will see it. Now I wish a good week-end to everyone :), to Viadeo Italia, to Neurona.it and to Xing- Kind of the day, also to its CEO Lars Hinrichs and the whole Xing Team- to which I say my honest BEST CONGRATULATIONS!
