Quotes • EX 1:Pierre Bordieau- (1986) “The aggregate of the actual or potential resources which are linked to possession of a durable network of more or less institutionalized relationships of mutual acquaintance and recognition." (wikipedia.com) • EX 2: Nan Lin's concept of Social Capital has a more individualistic approach: “Investment in social relations with expected returns in the marketplace”

  5. Social Capital • Social capital "refers to the collective value of all ‘social networks' and the inclinations that arise from these networks to do things for each other," according to Robert Putnam. • Network • Values and norms • Bonding • Bridging

  6. A strong example of Online Community • http://wikipedia.org/ • Wikipedia is a free online reference that is accessible to anyone and everyone • It is written collaboratively by volunteers and operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation based in St. Petersburg, Florida. • Wikipedia's volunteers' attempt to uphold a policy of "neutral point of view" under which views presented by notable persons or literature are summarized without an attempt to determine an objective truth.

  7. Trust, Security and Norms? • Due to its open nature, vandalism and inaccuracy are constant problems in Wikipedia. • People who use this site trust and value the resources given through this site because they are part of its basic foundation.

  8. Outsourcing • It has editions in about 180 languages (about 100 of which are active). Ten editions have more than 50,000 articles: English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Swedish, Italian, Dutch and Polish. According to Hitwise.com, an online measurement company, Wikipedia.com is the most popular reference site on the internet.

  9. Online Community • Wikipedia.com takes people from all over the world to this one site with the parallel view for knowledge. • This Online Community is a prime example of IT. With IT, it causes the users of this site to ask more questions and provide more challenges.

  10. What is Skype?http://www.skype.com • What is skype? -the newest form of interaction through the internet where “the world can talk for free”
