Linked In Connections Browsing

I was trying to browse the connections of one of my contacts this week and I discovered that he had changed his privacy settings to prevent others from browsing his connections.  It occurred to me as a result of this discovery that if I connect to former co-workers who are also competitors, sharing access to my connection with those competitors was a bad idea– especially if I connect to customers.

Therefore I turned off connection browsing, and then wrote up these instructions to share with my co-workers, in case they also wanted to protect their contacts from being pilfered by casual browsers.
