Hey all,

Straightforward question:

How do I see the followers and connections of a linkedin account that I'm not connected to/with?

There are techniques to get this information but they're non-trivial. PM with Skype and I can fill you in.

Open their profile and check the Activity section and visible follower list first. For connections, LinkedIn’s visibility settings vary by account, so a public profile may not reveal the full list.

Only the profile owner can see the full follower and connection counts on a LinkedIn account. If the number of connections is below 500, the exact count is displayed. If it’s over 500, LinkedIn only shows 500+.

linkedin actually contains many details depending upon the privacy setting of the particular account. i would start with their activity, connection nd any followers, but you may not be able to access all those details.

i would begin with common connections nd the people they interact with in their posts. u could disscover some of their connections that way, although linkedIn will not reveal all the connections in their list. bear in mind that followers nd connections are not the same on linkedIn.

All that Linkedin allows to be seen on the basis of its privacy settings is whether people hass any shared connections or followers however, full lists are hidden from view unless they connected with you.

This depends on the account's privacy settings, which determine whether outsiders can view its content. If you still wish to take a look, the best approach is to start by examining the person's public profile, activity, and mutual connections. You may be able to gain some insight into their network this way, but viewing their full list of connections will depend on their privacy settings, LinkedIn does not make every connection list publicly visible.
