Is that wrong? I can never tell with all of the changes at LinkedIn. Dan Carl,

My understanding is that your 2nd level will become their 3rd level and they won’t be able to see your 3rd level at all (in order to even know that they need an introduction).

Is that wrong? I can never tell with all of the changes at LinkedIn.

That being said, I'm at about the same point you are [invitations to danielrsweet-at-gmail.com] and I have about 700K 2nd level connections. So, if anyone here connects to either of us, they're going to get a huge boost in networking, but it won't be 5mil. Unless, of course, Jessica Alba is one of your connections... Dan Carl,
