openBC to become Xing
I've just noticed that openBC is to be re-branded as Xing when it's receives it's new makeover.
Apparently, according to openBLOG it's going to be launched Q4, preferably before the end of November.
Also, I reading one comment on their blog, I've discovered that Germans pronounce Xing as: "iksin".
It's interesting as I bet they've chosen the word "Xing" as it's not a "real word" and therefore not tied to any nationality (they're making a big point of its multilingualism - which LinkedIn doesn't have... yet). Bit like Skype really, I guess.
As a Brit, I'd pronounce Xing as "Zing".
So, where does that leave us?

Hi David,
Hope your well perhaps the X stands for cross so you get Xing or Crossing?
