Und es hat XING gemacht. An Explanation!

I'm sorry. I feel like I should apologise to my English speaking followers on twitter who have been flooded with lots of German tweets this evening. I should explain. There is a business / social platform over here called XING.com. They've just started something called "und es hat XING gemacht" a sentence so daft that I can't be bothered to translate it. A bit of a minor (like lower level minor scandal) the whole thing; they've used staff - that are supposed to be "members". I've been a member of XING for a long time - before it was called XING in fact. So Patrick and myself decided to give a real, members view of what it's like when "it goes XING"...

"when the people who visit my profile are mainly lawyers and tax investigators"


"when I deleted my XING account and nobody noticed"


"when I finally got approval for the half-yearly web project for 30 Euros"


"when I finally got a reply to a forum topic posted on the 13.02.2003"


"when I saw that the job that fits me best is the job I used to have"


"when my contact in Switzerland informs me that I'm on the Tax-CD"

That's it really. Just a German thing. Toilet activities resume soon.
