  • Connections are 'users who linked on LinkedIn because they know and trust each other,' according to LinkedIn. This allows you to view each other's postings, job changes and anniversaries, images, public and private shares, and more on your LinkedIn homepage. You may also send messages to your contacts with ease. You become a 1st-degree connection when you accept someone's invitation to connect. Your 2nd-degree contacts become their LinkedIn connections, and vice versa.
  • You can view another LinkedIn member's postings and articles without being connected to them by following them. In this way, unlike the mutual following that a link brings, the sharing is only going in one direction. Of course, someone could look at your page and read some of this information, but they won't receive any notifications or see it in their news feed.
