of their first degree connections and browse their second and third degree connections in
order to find additional opportunities to network and connect.

relevant news that has been collected and organized by the members in their networks and fellow
professionals in their industries.
Influencers. LinkedIn Influencers provides a publishing platform for thought leaders to post
unique knowledge and professional insights on LinkedIn. Members can follow these individuals to
receive relevant content directly in their Network Updates and email. Members can ‘‘like’’ and comment
