Where I work, people tend to add connections on LinkedIn immediately upon meeting someone. Even if it's someone you happened to meet just one time on a training course, even if it's your new boss and you haven't even started the job yet. That just seems to be our corporate culture though. Although I'm UK based, its an large American corporation and our company has a big focus on building your personal network as in, your general network, not LinkedIn specifically!
I've had senior leaders contacting me via LinkedIn to have a chat out of hours! Something that wouldnt' be possible by work email and wouldn't be appropriate by Facebook. It's been a good way to find allies. Some senior leaders DO use LinkedIn to check out their employees and if they like what they see, I do think it can create opportunities for you.
Yes, wait until you have closer connections with them. Frankly, LinkenIn is pretty useless as a social network except when you're between jobs, and there's no reason why you shouldn't forget about it until then. I tend to connect with colleagues when I've either just left a place, or if I get close to them as part of my work.
Adding people just to have a bigger network is no better than people with thousands of facebook friends. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

Add your new job to your LinkedIn profile. Claim your new persona proudly -- you earned it! It's a different story when we're talking about Facebook friend requests. Many people tell their colleagues "Let's connect on LinkedIn, rather than on Facebook. I use Facebook to keep in touch with family members so I post a lot of family stuff. On LinkedIn, be sure to keep your profile and your updates, blog posts and comments polite and professional. That's a good idea whether you are connected to your workmates on LinkedIn, or not!
Your comments are particularly important. When we feel strongly about a topic we see discussed on LinkedIn we can launch into an impassioned argument for one side of the issue or another. Your comments are visible to people who view your LinkedIn profile. At my previous jobs, I would ask a few coworkers to link to me or vice-versa.
If people didn't want to or didn't, no big deal. I would try not to take it as a personal offense or anything, just move on to someone else. It is best not to sweat over the small stuff to see if people slight you or not.
Just think of it this way without taking it personal if someone does not "Accept" your friend request: some people do not actively even use Linkedin, so sometimes your requests probably go into a void anyway for some people. Just because a recruiter tries to contact you on LinkedIN, doesn't mean your current employer would know or not. Most everyone you work with is looking for "the better job. What you decide to do or not, just depends on several factors.
There is no one answer, but I can see the point in just adding past colleagues and not current ones, particularly if you are new to a company. For other social networking sites, like Facebook, well, I would say no, do NOT friend current coworkers. It is just best to keep those "walls" completely separate in my opinion.
