Xing, often referred to as “The European LinkedIn,” will be launching its own version of the Facebook News Feed on Monday. Called “What’s New in My Network,” Xing’s new feature will keep you posted on profile updates your connections make, as well as new additions to their networks. According to the company, there are around 10 million such events occurring on the site every day.

Like Facebook, Xing will give users control over what updates they see and what information about them will be published.

News feed functionality is becoming a pretty standard social networking feature – LinkedIn added it just a couple weeks ago while on the consumer side, MySpace rolled out their own feed just yesterday and Hi5 recently made similar updates.
