#19 What's New In Social?

The eagled eyed among you will have noticed that Rachel’s Social Snippets #19 is a week late, for which I apologise. The reason is …

My best/closest friend passed away on Monday morning last week and I needed some time to process what had happened. Creating a newsletter suddenly didn’t seem so important in the scheme of things. I know you will understand.

Soooo, having missed a week we have plenty of content to choose from for this week’s Social Snippet ??

LinkedIn? Did You Know You Can Hide Your Connections?

Why would you want to hide your connections I hear you ask?

Well, some competitors scroll through and connect with your connections Having your connection visibility ‘Open’ makes this very easy for them to do!

On the other hand, switching the visibility of your connections to ‘Off’ makes it much harder for them to achieve.

Yes, they can still see the connections who comment on your posts but they can’t just scroll down your pre-prepared list of connections

How?

Top menu bar, click the arrow under ‘Me’ which is under your small profile image.

Scroll down to ‘Settings & Privacy’.

On the left hand menu bar, click ‘Visibility’ then in the centre menu click ‘Who can see your connection’. Click that to switch to ‘Off’.
