Resources and support accumulated by an individual, institution or group through relationships and the possession of a durable network. or . . The tappable goodwill you have available 9. Howard Rheingold NetSmart What does Howard say About social capital? 10. Social capital is what allows any organization or individual to make requests of its followers successfully. Think of social capital as funds in a sort of intangible bank account that you add to by listening to, engaging with, and doing favors for others. Each time you make a request, you are drawing on that account. If no social capital has been established from which to draw, actions requested of others are likely to be ignored. Having social capital is, in many ways, equivalent to having credibility in a selected online community. Social capital can be earned only over time, by participating appropriately in the community.
