See who IBM Connections recommends to you

Make new connections and expand your network by using the Do You Know widget on the My Network page. The Do You Know widget recommends people for you to add to your network based on your existing connections, tags, organizational relationships, and actions.

About this task

The Do You Know widget also provides information about how you are already related to a person. For example, you might share a manager, you might be a member of the same communities, or you might use the same tag.

If the person interests you and you want to connect with them, you can add them to your network directly from the Do You Know app. You can remove the recommendation if you decide that you do not want to connect with the recommended person.
Note: Because the widget is refreshed on an interval basis, you might not be prompted immediately for people recently made available.

Procedure

Use the Do You Know widget in the following ways:
  • Select a person's profile picture to display a list of the ways in which that person is related to you.
  • Scroll through the suggested profiles by clicking the photo on either side of the middle photo.
  • To invite a person to join your network, select the person's profile picture and click Invite to connect.
  • To remove a recommendation, select the person's profile picture and click Remove.
  • Access a person's business card by hovering over their name and clicking the link that displays.
