How can users connect with each other?
Users can connect with each other by sending each other a connection request. This extra option is very useful if you as a user would like to receive more specific information from users. For example, after you have made a connection, you will receive attendance notifications when your connection signs up for an event. They will also be at the top of the list of attendees for events. You will also receive a notification when it is, for example, the user's birthday.
