Abstract

The so-called Web 2.0 will be identified with the use of different digital tools generated around the concepts of collaboration or participation. The objective of this research is the analysis and categorization of diverse digital tools of free access that the civil society uses in a collaborative way, allowing to modify the society in benefit of all, thus generating digital social capital. This paper analyzes the concept of social capital and its transition to digital. The methodology used is an analysis sheet, which proposes a classification of those initiatives that involve greater participation, self-management, control and development by citizens over their own interests, without intermediaries. In conclusion, the appropriate use of certain technological tools provides civil society with the possibility of generating digital social capital for the common good.
