Ask HN: What are the alternatives to LinkedIn?
I am not happy that my data now will belong to MS and I want to migrate to an alternative. Any suggestions?
- waterphone 10y agoYour own website. Why rely on someone else owning your data?
- ryanlm 10y agoDo you mind sharing why?
- devnonymous 10y agoThat's odd. You didn't mind your data belonging to LinkedIn (which has suffered some rather large data breaches) but are not happy with it being with MS (which, arguably has better protection)? In anycase, I would assume, the value of LinkedIn was the network, so unless the alternative has the same level of networking it would really be pointless to migrate. That said, I know for a fact that Xing is as popular (if not more) in Germany. So, perhaps there are other similar professional networking sites with a local focus based on where you are.
- gt565k 10y agoWhat data do you really have on there that you're worried about? All I have is a web version of my resume and an inbox full of recruiter introductions. The connections are probably the most valuable part, but those are public either way.

- BuleBule 10y agoHold on a minute, OP raises a valid concern, I also do not feel comfortable with MS controlling my professional social value as their property. But you mock ?
