> Hey Sudheendra, Do you know Vivek? With 2.5 years of experience in PHP he seems like a good fit for our next big startup. Thanks to LinkedIn, I noticed you are his 1st connection. Would you mind connecting us?

Wow. "Uh, no"? "Go away"? "Leave me alone"? I'm not going to help someone spam my friends.

This. I barely want to deal with the people approaching _me_. Much less people I know. And what's more I don't think being a 1st level connection on linkedin really carries that much social proofing to the point where going direct is any worse.
:) Well that's up to you :)
